Coming to Fast and Furious 9, we saw the massive debut of The Tribal Chief. He made an appearance as a part of the Hobbs family as Mateo. The movie brought Roman Reigns and The Rock’s relationship to life, when it presented them as brothers.

The Usos never appeared in the movies but the term “Uso” was used several times.
