The Usos made their first appearance at the Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009. Their first notable match was against the Rotundo Brothers (Bo and Duke) on January 14, 2010. And they won the match.

The Usos claimed their first title, the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship, after defeating The Fortunate Sons (Joe Henning and Brett DiBiase).

The Usos won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on March 21, 2017, after defeating American Alpha. They became the first team to have both the Raw Tag Team Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

After taking a hiatus, the Fatu Brothers returned to help Roman Reigns when Dolph Zigler, Corbin and Rhodes outnumbered him.
