Jonathan Solofa Fatu (born August 22, 1985), better known by his ring name Jimmy Uso, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. He is the twin brother of Joshua Samuel Fatu (Jey Uso). The two wrestled together from 2007 to 2023 as The Usos. Uso is a member of the renowned Samoan-American Anoa'i family, which includes many other wrestlers like his father Rikishi, his younger brother Solo Sikoa, and his cousins Roman Reigns and The Rock. Uso represented the family as part of the stable The Bloodline. He is married to Trinity Fatu, better known as Naomi.
Uso is a former nine-time tag team champion, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championship five times (his fifth reign was longest tag team championship reign in the company at 622 days), and the Raw Tag Team Championship three times. He and Jey were also the first men to hold both titles together as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
