Deuce is the real life adopted son of former wrestling superstar Jimmy "
Superfly"
Snuka. He has many famous X-wrestling stars in his family, a few of his cousins are the Rock,
Yokuzuna and
the Tonga Kid. Deuce along with his partner
Domino debut on
Smackdown on January 19, 2007. They came out as 50's greasers, they were also occupied by
Cherry who is Deuce's girlfriend. Before appearing on
Smackdown the threesome were together in
OVW which is
WWE farm
territory. They were first called the Throwbacks and then the Untouchables there. Their first couple of matches were against jobbers and they
immediately made a impact gaining two victories. Then they
threatened the then tag team champions Brian London and Brian
Kendrick by beating them in a non-title match. This feud eventually led to them taking the tag team titles from
London and
Kendrick in April of 2007. They feuded with the former tag team champs until London and
Kendrick were sent to RAW in the
WWE draft. On the August 31, 2007 edition of
Smackdown they would lose their tag team titles to the odd face/heel team of
Matt Hardy and
MVP. They tried to recapture their titles against them at 'Unforgiven' but were
unsuccessful. After losing their titles Deuce and his partner Domino seem to have become jobbers on SMACKDOWN. On the 06-13-08 edition of Smackdown Deuce and Domino wrestled a match against Jesse and Festus. They lost the match and began fighting and wrestling each other. The following week the same thing happened again as the two fought again during a match and afterward made it clear to one another that their long time partnership was over.
In June of 2008, Deuce was drafted to Raw during the WWE draft and made his debut on September 22, 2008 as he lost a match to Santino Marella. On the December 15, 2008 episode of Raw, Deuce announced that his new ring name would be Sim Snuka, after revealing his father is Jimmy Snuka.
Snuka became part of the Raw storyline when Randy Orton was forming the Legacy stable, yet Snuka and Manu were ousted from the group and received a beatdown from Rhodes, Dibiase and Orton. That was about the last that was seen of Snuka.
Sim Snuka was then released by the WWE on June 19, 2009 and released the following statement.
World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Sim Snuka as of today, June 19, 2009. WWE wishes Sim the best in all future endeavors.
