The Usos were an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of twin brothers Joshua and Jonathan Fatu, better known as Jey and Jimmy Uso, signed with the WWE. The team disbanded after Jimmy turned on Jey, who was later traded to the Raw brand whereas Jimmy remained on the SmackDown brand as a former member of villainous stable The Bloodline. They are the three-time Raw Tag Team Champions and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions, making their team overall eight-time champions and holding the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in WWE history at 622 days. The Usos are members of the renowned Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers.

Trained since childhood by their father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, the team debuted in WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009, where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions, and wrestled as Jules Uso and Jimmy Uso (The Uso Brothers). They were moved to the main roster the following year. While on the main roster, they have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka and Jimmy's wife, Naomi.[6] From July 2021 to June 2023, they were part of The Bloodline with their real-life first cousin once removed and group leader Roman Reigns and younger brother Solo Sikoa. Jimmy left the group in June 2023, with Jey following suit two weeks later; only for Jimmy to rejoin the group in September of that year until he was excommunicated in April 2024, and was subsequently replaced by Tama Tonga.

Peers and critics have described the Usos as one of the greatest professional wrestling tag teams of all time.[7][8][9][10] They hold the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in WWE history at 622 days, which was accomplished in their fifth reign with the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship.[11] They are overall eight-time tag team champions in WWE, capturing the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship three times and winning the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year in both 2014 and 2015. In 2017, they won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on three occasions, followed by a fourth reign in 2019 and a fifth reign in 2021. They are the first team to win both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships and the first team to hold them simultaneously as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. In addition, The Usos have competed in the main event of several pay-per-views, including Night 1 of WrestleMania 39, which was the first time a tag team championship was defended in the main event of a WrestleMania, and the second time that a tag team match was the main event of Wrestlemania.
