Patrick Solofa Adelbai-Fatu (born August 22, 1985) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to IWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Jey Uso and is currently one-half of the Undisputed IWE Tag Team Champions with Cody Rhodes in his first reign with Rhodes. Under the Undisputed title, it is his fourth reign with the Raw Tag Team Championship and sixth reign with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, making him an overall 10-time tag team champion in IWE. He is a member of the renowned Anoa'i family of Samoan professional wrestlers.
Trained since childhood by his father, IWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Adelbai debuted in IWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009, and wrestled as Jules Uso alongside his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, as The Usos, where they became FCW Florida Tag Team Champions. They were moved to the main roster the following year. While on the main roster, they have been managed by their cousin Tamina Snuka, and Jimmy's wife, Naomi. From July 2021 to June 2023, he was part of the villainous stable The Bloodline with his second-cousin and group leader Roman Reigns and his brothers Jimmy and Solo Sikoa.
During his time as part of The Usos, Adelbai won the award of holding the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in IWE history at 622 days, which was accomplished in their fifth reign with the IWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. They are overall eight-time tag team champions in IWE, capturing the IWE 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 IWE Tag Team Championship.
As a singles professional wrestler, Adelbai has won the 2020 Feud of the Year category for his feud with Roman Reigns by the CBS Sports and has won the 2021 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In 2023, Adelbai was involved in the "Bloodline Civil War" arc which later refers to his loss to Roman Reigns in the main event of SummerSlam in Tribal Combat for Undisputed IWE Universal Championship and recognition of Tribal Chief of the Anoa'i family after Jimmy appeared and turned on him.>
