Deuce 'N Domino are a professional wrestling tag team that are currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment and wrestling on the SmackDown! brand, where they are the current WWE Tag Team Champions. They are joined by Domino's sister (Kayfabe) - and Deuce's girlfriend (also Kayfabe) - Cherry, who acts as their valet.

Their gimmick has them acting like 1950s "greasers", with Cherry accompanying them on roller skates, chomping gum and wearing poodle skirts.

History

Developmental territories

Deuce, Domino, and Cherry all began working together in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) "farm territory" Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in January 2006 as The Throwbacks, and later The Untouchables. On March 19, 2006 Deuce defeated Mike "The Miz" Mizanin to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship for him and his partner after Mizanin's partner, Chris Cage, left the business and forced Miz to defend the title on his own. They held the title for less than a month, losing them to Roadkill and Kasey James in a three way tag team match that also involved Kenny and Mikey of the Spirit Squad. The team won the OVW Tag Team Championship two other times. They also won the Deep South Wrestling Tag Team Championship after making a surprise appearance at a Deep South show. When they lost the OVW titles to Cody Runnels and Shawn Spears they also seemingly lost Cherry, who smiled at Spears and Runnels after the match, then became their valet for a short time, before turning on them and joining The Untouchables again.

SmackDown!

On January 19, 2007 Deuce, Domino, and Cherry debuted on the SmackDown! brand, retaining their greaser gimmick and adding to their ring entrance an arrival in a 50's era car. Their first two matches on the brand had them squashing two jobber teams, and in the following two weeks they beat reigning WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick in non-title matches. As a result they (kayfabe) complained to WWE headquarters that they were being overlooked and had a scheduled ladder match with London and Kendrick defending against three other teams changed to a standard tag team match against them^[1], but when the title was on the line they came up short. For the month after they lost to the champions they weren't seen on SmackDown!, returning on the April 6 episode to observe London & Kendrick during a match. The next week they received another title shot, only to get themselves disqualified for being too rough and not following the referees instructions. They finally defeated London and Kendrick for the titles on the April 20 edition of SmackDown! in Milan, Italy after London attempted a moonsault at ringside and missed, leaving him unable to continue.^[2]
