Deuce 'n Domino is an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of Deuce Shade and Dice Domino, who were managed for the majority of their run by Cherry and briefly by Maryse. The pair teamed together in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) from 2006 through 2008, capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship on one occasion and the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship on three occasions. In addition, they also won the Deep South Wrestling Tag Team Championship on one occasion.

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 OVW Southern Tag Team Champions after Deuce defeated The Miz on March 19, 2006, in a singles match after Miz's partner, Chris Cage, left the organization and forced The Miz to defend the title on his own.[4] The team, however, lost the title the following month to Roadkill and Kasey James in a three-way match, which also involved Kenny and Mikey of The Spirit Squad.[4]

The group soon began a scripted rivalry with the team of CM Punk and Seth Skyfire, which saw The Untouchables winning the Southern Tag Team Title from them on August 2, 2006.[3] The Untouchables later engaged in another rivalry with Shawn Spears and Cody Runnels.[4] They also won the Deep South Wrestling (DSW) Tag Team Championship after making a surprise appearance at a DSW show on October 5, 2006. They lost the South Tag Team Championship on October 12 to 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]

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]

On the February 2 episode of SmackDown!, the team defeated the then-WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick in a non-title match.[8] Deuce 'n Domino faced London and Kendrick in a WWE Tag Team Championship match at February's pay-per-view event, No Way Out, but lost when Kendrick pinned Deuce via roll-up.[9] On the April 20 episode of SmackDown!, they defeated London and Kendrick for the WWE Tag Team Championship when London was, in storyline, injured after missing a moonsault to the outside. Kendrick was left to defend the title by himself, and was pinned after being hit with Deuce 'n Domino's West Side Stomp finishing move.[10] Three weeks later, London and Kendrick competed against William Regal and Dave Taylor. Deuce 'n Domino interfered, causing Regal and 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, Vengeance: Night of Champions, after insulting former Tag Team Champions 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 Batista and Ric Flair.[15][16][17] On the August 31 episode of SmackDown!, the team lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to Matt Hardy and the reigning WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter.[18] During the last few months of 2007, Deuce 'n Domino engaged in a short scripted rivalry with Hardy and MVP,[19][20][21] Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore,[22] Jesse and Festus,[23][24] and Finlay and Hornswoggle.[25][26] At the beginning of 2008, the team suffered a series of losses. At WrestleMania XXIV in March, the team participated in a 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]

On the May 23 episode of SmackDown, Deuce 'n Domino parted ways with Cherry and replaced her with Maryse.[28] On the June 20, 2008 episode of SmackDown, following a loss to Jesse and Festus, their second straight loss in two weeks, Deuce and Domino engaged in a fight with each other, and Deuce performed the 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.

SmackDown during the Ruthless Aggression Era is a perfect example of memorable WWE TV that fans still look back on in a positive light. For instance, SmackDown from the early years of the Ruthless Aggression Era was some of the best wrestling that fans could tune in to weekly, as there was a good mix of in-ring action and compelling characters. Although SmackDown is remembered fondly for the talent getting featured over the years of the Ruthless Aggression Era, some SmackDown talents have been forgotten despite garnering some success. Former WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino are two of the SmackDown talents that doesn't get much recognition, despite being former champions.

Towards the later years of the Ruthless Aggression Era, SmackDown still had an impressive roster, stemming from legendary superstars like Batista and The Undertaker being prominently featured on the show. However, some on the SmackDown roster, despite having moderate success, didn't generate much interest from WWE fans.

One could look at SmackDown's tag team division during the late 2000s as an example, as many don't remember much of what went on in that division. Even as Paul London and Brian Kendrick held the longest WWE Tag Team Championship reign during that period, it's forgotten to an extent. It's not like SmackDown's tag team division in 2002, where it was among the main focal points of the show. Whhile Paul London and Brian Kendrick won the WWE Tag Team Champions and carried the belts for almost a year, the fact that the tag team division didn't feel that important was why them losing their championship belts didn't feel that special.

It's hard to believe that Paul London and Brian Kendrick lost the WWE Tag Team Championships to a rookie tag team act like Deuce 'n Domino, despite their reign lasting almost a year. With that said, Deuce 'n Domino was one of the more unusual acts during the Ruthless Aggression years of WWE because, despite how forgotten this act is, WWE attempted to make them seem like a threat in the tag team division. And credit to Deuce 'n Domino, they held the WWE Tag Team Championship belts for a few months before heading towards obscurity.

Deuce 'n Domino's personas were represented as stereotypical greasers. For those who don't know much about greaser culture, it was an American subculture that trended among young adults during the 1950s. Arguably best known for their rugged appearance with greased-up hair and wearing leather jackets, Deuce 'n Domino looked the part in their portrayal of that very subculture. Whether a gimmick like this would achieve a level of stardom, Deuce 'n Domino looked like guys that would come off as stereotypic greasers that one would generally see on TV.

Arriving in a classic car with their valet Cherry, Deuce 'n Domino made their debut on a January 2007 episode of SmackDown, winning their debut match. Soon after debuting, Deuce 'n Domino engaged in a series of bouts with Paul London and Brian Kendrick over the next few months, who were the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions. Although Deuce 'n Domino failed to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships at the No Way Out 2007 PPV, losing to Paul London and Brian Kendrick, they were the first team to dethrone them on an April 2007 episode of SmackDown.
