This marked Jey's first major singles accolade in WWE.[79]

 
The Usos in 2022

After Jimmy returned from injury on the May 7 episode of SmackDown, there was an initial strife between The Usos and Reigns before they all reconciled and formed a faction, with Jimmy turning heel in the process.[80][81] During the Money in the Bank Kickoff pre-show on July 18, The Usos were successful in capturing their fifth SmackDown Tag Team Championship from The Mysterios (Rey and Dominik).[82] At SummerSlam, The Usos would defeat The Mysterios in a rematch to retain the titles.[83]

This gave The Usos their third reign as Raw Tag Team Champions (and first reign with the title since 2014) and made them the first team to hold the Raw and SmackDown titles simultaneously.[87] At Money in the Bank, The Usos retained their undisputed titles against The Street Profits in controversial fashion, with The Usos winning by pinfall despite Montez Ford's shoulder being off the mat.[88] A rematch between the teams was scheduled for SummerSlam[89] with a special guest referee, later revealed to be Jeff Jarrett.[90]

On July 18, The Usos surpassed the 365-day mark as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, becoming the first team to hold the titles for a continuous reign of one full year.

At Survivor Series: WarGames on November 26, The Bloodline (The Usos, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn) defeated The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens in a WarGames match.[94]

Tensions between The Usos and Zayn resurfaced in subsequent weeks. After Reigns retained the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble against Kevin Owens, The Usos proceeded to beat down Owens and handcuff him to the ring ropes. After refusing to hit Owens, Zayn then hit Reigns with a steel chair, turning face. Jimmy, Sikoa and Reigns attacked Zayn whilst Jey looked on and eventually left the ring in disgust.[95] After the event, Jey declared on Instagram that "he's out"[96][97] and did not appear on the following episode of SmackDown.[98] Jey would show up on the February 10 episode of SmackDown to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Jimmy against Braun Strowman and Ricochet. Before the episode ended, Reigns, through Heyman, informed The Usos to stay at home for the following week's episode of SmackDown and Elimination Chamber in Canada.[99] This was meant to write off The Usos as they may not be able to enter Canada due to their DUI history, where DUI charges are taken more seriously there.[100] However, Jimmy would be present for the event to assist Reigns in retaining his championship, and Jey would show up to prevent Reigns from hitting Zayn with a chair, which failed.

On the March 6 episode of Raw, Jey showed up in the crowd during Jimmy's match against Zayn which Jimmy lost. Following the match, Jey hugged Zayn and then delivered a Superkick to the latter, affirming Jey's allegiance to The Bloodline. The Usos and Sikoa then attacked Zayn before Cody Rhodes ran out to save Zayn.[101] On the March 20 episode of Raw, a reunited Owens and Zayn challenged The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39, which The Usos accepted.[102] On night one of the event on April 1, The Usos main evented WrestleMania for the first time in their careers, where they lost the titles to Owens and Zayn, thus ending their Raw reign at 316 days and their record SmackDown reign at 622 days. This match also marked the first time a tag team match main evented WrestleMania since its inaugural show.[103] The match was rated five stars by Dave Meltzer and became the eighth main roster WWE match to receive five stars and the first match in The Usos' careers to receive such a rating.[104] Following their loss, Reigns started ignoring them and depending on Sikoa instead, with Reigns inserting himself and Sikoa into a title match at Night of Champions.[105] They failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in their rematch against Owens and Zayn on the April 28 episode of SmackDown.[106]

The Usos then superkicked both Sikoa and Reigns.[110] At Money in the Bank, The Usos defeated Reigns and Sikoa in a "Bloodline Civil War" tag team match with Jey pinning Reigns. This is Reigns' first direct pinfall loss since December 2019 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.[111][112]

At SummerSlam, Jimmy appeared to have turned on Jey by pulling him out of the ring while he was trying to pin Reigns and superkicked him, allowing Reigns to defeat Jey to retain his title and remain Tribal Chief, turning heel once again.[113] However, on the August 11 episode of SmackDown, he explained that the reason for his actions was out of fear that if Jey had become the new Tribal Chief, the power would have corrupted him. Jey responded by superkicking Reigns, Sikoa, and finally Jimmy. Afterwards, he declared that he was quitting WWE.[114] On the September 1 episode of SmackDown, Jimmy confronted John Cena with a new theme song, only to get an Attitude Adjustment from Cena. Later that night, he aided Solo Sikoa in his match against AJ Styles, teasing a possible reunion with The Bloodline, cementing his heel turn. At Fastlane on October 7, Jimmy and Sikoa lost to Cena and LA Knight in a tag team match. On the October 16 episode of Raw, Jimmy attacked Jey, helping The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest) win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship from Jey and Cody Rhodes. Jimmy competed in the 2024 Royal Rumble match coming in at number 2 while his brother Jey came in at number 1 lasting 34 minutes until being eliminated by Bron Breakker. On February 19, he again cost Jey another title match when he faced off against Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. At WrestleMania XL, he was defeated by his brother Jey. [115] On the following SmackDown after WrestleMania, Jimmy was once again removed from The Bloodline following an attack by the debuting Tama Tonga on orders from his younger brother Sikoa, turning face once again.[116] This action allowed Jimmy to take time off due to an injury and was not assigned to a brand following the 2024 WWE Draft, making him a free agent.[117]

Reunion with Jey (2024–present)

edit

After a near-six month hiatus at Bad Blood, Jimmy cemented his face turn and made his return by assisting Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in defeating The New Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu and embraced Reigns after the match.[118] On the October 14 episode of Raw, Jimmy attempted to make amends with Jey, but was pushed away.[119] On the October 25 episode of SmackDown, Jey assisted Jimmy and Reigns in taking out The Bloodline, the brothers then embraced in the ring, reuniting The Usos.[120] At Crown Jewel on November 2, The Usos and Reigns lost to Sikoa, Tonga and Fatu in a Six-Man Tag Team match with Sikoa pinning Reigns.[121]

Fatu was arrested on September 29, 2011, in Hillsborough County, Florida and charged with DUI. A police officer observed Fatu at around 3 AM EDT driving the wrong way down a one way street. The officer pulled Fatu over and gave him a field sobriety test, which Fatu failed. Fatu was also given a breathalyzer and blew a .18, twice the legal limit in the state of Florida.

Police claim that when they approached the vehicle, they could smell alcohol from the inside. Officers then requested Trinity, the driver, to exit the SUV so that they could speak with her. Officers then claimed that Jonathan Fatu, Trinity's spouse, exited the vehicle while officers were speaking to Trinity and removed his shirt, then proceeded to walk towards the officers, prompting one of the officers to pull out his taser. The situation was quickly calmed down, however, and Fatu was placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice.[127] In March 2019, it was revealed that Fatu's attorney struck a plea deal with prosecutors, and as per the condition of the agreement, Fatu pleaded no contest to interfering with a government employee and he was ordered to pay a $450 fine.[128]
