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.
