Few Superstars have arrived in WWE with more of a pedigree than Jimmy Uso. Along with his brother Jey, Jimmy is a member of the legendary Samoan Anoa'i family, which includes such luminaries as his father Rikishi, his great uncles The Wild Samoans and even The People’s Champion, The Rock.
The Usos begin each match by approaching to the ring performing the Siva Tau, a traditional Samoan war dance meant to strike fear in their opponents. While embracing that aspect of their heritage, Jimmy and Jey have been determined to show the WWE Universe that they are fully integrated into American culture from the onset. A more modern representation of their family, the pair instantly dismissed stereotypes of savagery commonly associated with Samoan grapplers.
Jey and his brother debuted alongside Tamina, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka in May 2010, attacking The Hart Dynasty – another family with strong sports-entertainment lineage – and staked their claim on behalf of their lineage.
The Usos are the next generation of Samoans, not performing barefoot in beads like his island-born WWE Hall of Famer great uncles, but rather in more traditional in-ring trunks and boots. Jey’s style represents the seamless blend of Samoan tradition and American innovation. Ironically, his competitive nature and pursuit of success is emblematic of his ancestors’ most renowned qualities.
