Joshua Samuel Fatu (born August 22, 1985) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Jey Uso and is the current World Heavyweight Champion in his first reign. He is a member of the Anoaʻi family of professional wrestlers.

Trained since childhood by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Jey debuted in 2008, before joining WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2010, and wrestled as Jules Uso alongside his twin brother, Jimmy, as The Usos, where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions. They were moved to the main roster later that year.[7] From July 2021 to June 2023, he was part of the villainous stable The Bloodline.

During his time as part of The Usos, Jey holds 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.[8] 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. The two headlined multiple pay-per-views, including WrestleMania 39.

As a singles professional wrestler, Jey won the 2020 Feud of the Year category for his feud with Roman Reigns by the CBS Sports as well as the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.[9][10] He would later win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Cody Rhodes, marking his fourth reign with the Raw Tag Team Championship and sixth reign with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. In September 2024, he won the Intercontinental Championship, the first singles title of his career. In February 2025, Uso won the Men's Royal Rumble, earning him a championship match at WrestleMania 41, where he defeated Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, marking the first world title of his career.
