History

World Wrestling Entertainment (2006–2008)

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2006–2007)

Before forming a team, both Deuce Shade and Dice Domino competed in singles competition, occasionally against each other, in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).[2] In January 2006, Deuce and Domino formed a partnership with Domino's storyline sister, Cherry Pie, as their manager. The trio adopted an 1950s greaser in-ring persona, to become known as "The Throwbacks".[3]

During their time together they underwent an image change, including changing their name to "The Untouchables" and dropping Shade, Dice, and Pie from their respective names. The team would become

The Spirit Squad.[4]

The group soon began a

The Major Brothers.[5] In addition, the team lost the OVW Southern Tag Team Title to Spears and Runnels, prompting Cherry to leave The Untouchables to side with Spears and Runnels briefly before betraying them.[3] The team won the Southern Tag Team Championship on another occasion, before losing them to Spears and Rhodes in a street fight, thus ending their feud.[3]

SmackDown! (2007–2008)

The team was called up to WWE's SmackDown! roster in January 2007, with the team undergoing a name change to "Deuce 'n Domino" with their manager, now simply called "Cherry".[6] Despite the team name change, they retained their greaser personas, adding to their ring entrance an arrival in a 1950s era car. Deuce 'n Domino won their debut tag team match.[7]

Taylor to be disqualified.[11] This made both teams number one contenders leading to a triple threat tag team match the following week where Deuce 'n Domino retained the tag title.[12]

At the June event,

Tony Garea and Rick Martel, Deuce 'n Domino defeated Sgt. Slaughter and Deuce's real-life father, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka to retain their title.[13] During a tag team match with Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG) in late June, Domino suffered an injury, which was diagnosed as a broken nose and a possible broken orbital bone socket in his eye. The injury would keep him out of the ring for a month.[14]

Deuce n' Domino later engaged in a rivalry with

24-man Interpromotional Battle Royal, in which the winner would face then ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero Jr. later that night. Deuce 'n Domino, however, did not win the match.[27]

Split and aftermath (2008)

On the May 23 episode of SmackDown, Deuce 'n Domino parted ways with Cherry and replaced her with

Crack 'em in da Mouth finishing move on Domino.[29] Deuce then threw his jacket over Domino, dissolving their partnership.[30] The split was then further cemented when Deuce was drafted to the Raw brand as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft.[31] Following the draft, Domino was predominantly featured as an enhancement talent.[32][33] Deuce became Sim Snuka. In August 2008, Domino and Cherry were released from their WWE contracts.[34][35] The following year, Deuce was released from the WWE as well.[36] In April 2016, Maryse made her return to the company and as of 2024, remains under contract, currently managing her real-life husband, The Miz
.

Independent circuit (2021–present)

Thirteen years after the separation, Deuce 'n Domino along with Cherry have been reunited and now accepts bookings in the independent circuit.[37]
