Jimmy and Jey Uso have been on the main WWE roster for over seven years now. During that time frame, they have rarely turned; introduced as heels in 2010, the brothers were reimagined as proud Samoan babyfaces in 2011 and remained that way until a recent return to the dark side in 2016. This latest heel run is the most effective they've been.

Shedding the colourful outfits and face painted smiles, The Usos are now a pair of thuggish street punks who brag about their heritage rather than show pride in it. As foil for The New Day, the siblings have been excellent on SmackDown, and that couldn't have happened had they not ditched the happy-go-lucky babyface characters of before.

They did tread water for several years before turning heel again, but it's hard to pin point any bad matches The Usos worked even when doing so. As reliable a team as they come, Jimmy and Jey have slowly but surely managed to carve their own legacy away from traditional Samoan stereotypes.
