== Professional Wrestling Career ==
=== Whacked Out Wrestling (2008-2012) ===
Serra debuted for WoW in January of 2008 winning his debut match against Bleek, the following week he faced Johnson and Benjamin Moore in a 2 on 1 Handicap match which he won after Moore accidentally clothes lining Johnson out of the ring, and Serra rolling Moore up for the cover. The following week he defeated JayTe in a singles match to earn a shot at the WoW World Heavyweight Championship at the next PPV No Forgiveness. The following week; the current champion at that time Starkist told Serra that he did not belong in WoW and that he would make a fool out of Serra at the PPV. In Serra's first PPV match at No Forgiveness, He battled with Starkist trading blows until they both were knocked off their feet. Starkist went for the Rollerblade which was his finishing maneuver, but miscalculated and ran into the corner setting himself up for the debut of Serra's finishing maneuver the Stomach Pump. Serra won the match and earned his first Major Title reign, which would be defended the following Thursday when Starkist would envoke his rematch clause and yet again lose to Serra. The following week, Hardy would receive the night off but instead sat at ringside while Starkist and Majagetta fought for a #1 Contenders spot to face Serra for the championship at the following PPV in March. Majagetta won the match and looked Serra in the eyes at the ringside, saying he was leaving champion after the PPV. When the PPV started; it would be announced that Serra's match would be held as a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Serra won the match after knocking Majagetta off the ladder and through a table covered with barbed wire. After the match however; that years winner of the Key and Case match (AKA the Gennie in a Lamp Match) Genesis cashed in his guaranteed title match, where he kicked Serra in the temple and covered him winning Genesis the World Heavyweight Championship. The next show would involve Serra in a #1 Contenders match against Majageta and Starkist, which would be won by Majagetta. By the end of 2009, Serra had won the World Heavyweight Championship a total of 3 times before making a winnable championship called the WoW Xtreme Championship; soon becoming the organizations major title. By early 2010; it was clear that Serra was the top performer and that the organization was being centered around him. Serra started a rivalry with Majagetta and Cannon after a triple threat match for the Xtreme Championship in which Serra pinned Cannon and won the championship back from him. Cannon and Majagetta grew jealous of receiving less attention than Serra as well as citing that they were here before him at every weekly show. Cannon and Majagetta formed an alliance to rid of Serra and his attention which did not last long after Majagetta hit Cannon over the back with a steel chair, and did the same to Serra the following week. Serra faced the two once again for the Xtreme Championship at the next PPV where he retained the title after pinning Majagetta. After the PPV had concluded; Serra had officially started a rivalry that concluded at the end of WoW's existence
On January 6, 2011; it was announced that Serra had been released from the organization because of personal issues. Serra returned to WoW in August of that year and continued his rivalry with Cannon and Majagetta made in 2010. Hardy went on to become the "Big Dog" of the feud. Hardy defeated Cannon 16 times, Majagetta 18 times that year and was defeated by both a total of 6 times. The biggest upset that Serra was on the receiving end of had been when he successfully hit the Stomach Pump on Cannon; and Majagetta ran into the ring and smashed Serra in the head with a steel chair and threw him out of the ring and pinned Cannon to win the Xtreme Championship in a Weapons Match which Serra created and has had credit for creating the match type. The Weapons Match was made an official match type in which all sorts of Weapons are spread around the ring and in the ring. Serra dominated most of the rivalry in WoW until it's disbandment in 2012.
Serra left the organization once again in November of 2011, but returned in May of 2012 and was the first to be inducted into the Hall of Fame because of the organization's planned disbandment in November of that year. In October of 2012, he was given the Certified Hall of Fame plaque and placed it on the wall himself, cementing his legacy in Connecticut. In his final WoW match; he fought against Cannon and Majagetta for the Xtreme Championship inside a Hell in a Cell as the main event at the final event as a WoW performer. During the match; Serra was jabbed with a screwdriver in the head to the point where he bled, was thrown from the top of the cell into the crowd, injured his right shoulder after performing a Senton Bomb off the top of the cell onto Cannon and Majagetta, knocked Cannon out and performed the final WoW Stomach Pump on Majagetta winning the Xtreme Championship back for his 23rd and final reign. After the 3 received medical attention, Hardy closed the organization after thanking the audience and raising the championship above his head.
=== First Run in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling (2013-2016) ===
After WoW disbanded and he was given by the owner the Xtreme Championship belt as a keepsake from the organization; Serra stated he knew it was really over and the organization he had been signed to for years where he made his debut was gone for good, he decided that he did not want to try and re-live his experience with another "company" and declined Kyle Reece's offer (Kyle Reece was the owner of WoW and is the current owner of USW.) to sign with USW. In March of 2013 and after not performing for an organization in 4-5 month's, Serra decided to negotiate a contract with USW and Reece to wrestle in USW. According to Serra, When Reece told him about the 5 "Legends" contracts that were handed out and that Reece had saved the final contract for him, he knew that it was the oppurtunity to continue his career and perform for new fans that were now interested in USW. Serra officially signed a Legends contract with USW on March 13, 2013 and debuted for USW on March 21, 2013 when he interfered in the then USW Champion Westernlight and Deadbeat singles match on the Wednesday Night Intensity taping for March 20, 2013 when he hit Westernlight over the head with a fold up chair and performed the Stomach Pump on Deadbeat where he found out that most people in the audience knew who he was. The following week on March 27, 2013 during the Westernlight/Majagetta Vs. Cannon/Derrick Carter tag team match; Serra appeared on the titantron filming from the locker room and telling Westernlight he was back and he was coming for the championship. Which caused Westernlight to be distracted from the match and after turning around being hit with a fold up chair by Cannon, earning Westernlight and Majagetta the win. After Cannon and Derrick Carter ran away from the ring; the owner Kyle Reece walked down the enterance ramp and announced Westernlight would defend his USW Championship against Serra at the next PPV Crossing Line. At the PPV in the match between Westernlight and Serra, Cannon attempted to hit the downed Westernlight with a fold up chair but was Stomach Pumped by Serra before he could hit him with the chair. Serra executed a Stomach Pump on Westernlight but instead of pinning Westernlight; he continued to stand and started motioning Westernlight to get to his feet. After 43 seconds of Westernlight attempting to get to his feet; Serra lifted Westernlight on his shoulders and turned him around in mid-air and body slammed him face first into the ring mat and pinned him to win the USW Championship for the first time in his career. The following Wednesday on the Intensity taping of April 3, 2013; Hardy stated that the face plant move was called the Hardyac Face Plant and that he was challenging Westernlight to use his re-match clause soon do he could hit it on him again. The owner said Hardy had the month off until April 28, 2013 PPV Brutality where he would face Westernlight, Cannon, Majagetta, YoYo Joe and Present in a 6 man Barbed Wire Deathmatch for the USW Championship. At the PPV and during the match; Hardy was thrown off the top rope and through a Barbed Wire table that was lit on fire in which he suffered burn marks on his arms and legs and cuts on his head, neck, and chest which took him out of the match temporarily. However during the ending of the match; Majagetta jumped off the top rope and landed on Present, YoYo Joe and Westernlight going through a barbed wire covered table which left Cannon alone in the middle of the ring until Serra came down to the ring. Serra entered the ring without Cannon's knowledge and with a fold up chair covered in barbed wire in his hand, he hit Cannon in the head with it once he turned around and executed the Hardyac Face Plant on him, and pinned him to retain his championship. On the May 1, 2013 taping of Wednesday Night Intensity; Serra was booked in a non-title match against Westernlight in which he won by pinfall after executing the Hardyac Face Plant on him. Later that night during a #1 Contenders match for a USW Championship match against Serra at the May 26, 2013 PPV Hellfire between Cannon, YoYo Joe and newcomer DoubleXL, Serra took a seat at the announcers desk and watched the match be won by DoubleXL, with Serra hitting DoubleXL in the back with a metal cane knocking him to the mat. After that; the owner Kyle Reece decided that the championship match would be a No Disqualification match. At the Hellfire PPV; Serra had executed the Hardyac Face Plant on the 285 Lb. DoubleXL which would have won him the match, until he went for a pin and was attacked by Cannon and his new group named Beautiful Destiny, and was power bombed off the top rope and was defeated by DoubleXL after Cannon and his group placed DoubleXL's arm on Serra; winning DoubleXL his first and only USW Championship. The next Wednesday Night Intensity taping on May 29, 2013; Serra challenged DoubleXL to a Championship match at the next PPV TapOut where The loser would leave USW for good. On June 2, 2013 at the PPV TapOut; the championship match would be held as a submission match to follow the TapOut PPV rules as it being named TapOut because most of the matches were held as submission matches. Serra would win the match after executing the Hardyac Face Plant on DoubleXL and placing him in a chokehold making DoubleXL submit. The following Wednesday on the Intensity taping on June 5, 2013; Serra would be booked into a match against DoubleXL where DoubleXL would be allowed back into USW if he were to win. Serra would lose the match after the referee was accidentally kicked in the face and Serra would hit the Stomach Pump on DoubleXL, but Cannon would run to the ring and start beating Serra with a metal pipe and finishing it with a Cannon-Ball Backflip and shoving Serra to the middle of the ring. Double XL would pin Serra and win the match after performing the Whiplash Bodyslam on Serra. The following week on the June 12, 2013 taping of Intensity; Reece announced he was questioning if Serra was the rightful champion. He declared a hardcore tournament for Serra's USW Championship involving 16 performers. In the first round; Serra defeated M.C.4 in a Tables match to advance to the second round. Serra would defeat his other opponents in the second and third round, and would advance in the tournament to the final round on the June 30, 2013 PPV D-Day against YoYo Joe for his USW Championship. On the PPV; Serra faced YoYo Joe in a Ladder match for the championship, Serra would win after he performed the Hardyac Face Plant on YoYo Joe off the top of the ladder. Serra was not seen at a show over the next 3 weeks until the July 24, 2013 taping of Intensity where he would interfere in the Cannon/Sonic Bomb match and Stomach Pump Cannon through a table. Afterwards he was ambushed by Cannon's group called "Perfect Destiny" who's members are MassScale, Bolt Shot, Verse 9, Lightning, Law and Cannon. Serra was lifted up and dropped through a table, beaten with a ladder, choked with a metal pipe, and power bombed through a flaming table. On the July 28, 2013 PPV Call to Greatness which is the organization's first of two biggest events; Serra was not seen in the arena until the main event between Cannon and Majagetta was almost over. Cannon had performed the Cannon Ball Backflip on Majagetta the lights went out and dark blue lights were shining in the arena. The lights became darker and smoke started to come out from under the ring and filled the ringside making a similar scene to the WWE enterance of The Undertaker. The lights turned on and a person in a long black blanket appeared in the ring behind Cannon. The person came out of the blanket and revealed himself as Morbid, who is 7-1 at Call to Greatness ever since it was a WoW PPV. Morbid performed his finishing maneuver Rest In Piece and looked around the arena exposing his contacts that make his eyes colored red. Serra then walked down to the ring and looked Morbid in the eyes and challenged him to a match, which Morbid accepted by saying into the microphone; "It's your funeral." On the July 31, 2013 taping of Intensity; Serra told Cannon he would see him in the ring for the USW Championship at the PPV Capital Carnage. At the PPV on August 25, 2013; Cannon defeated Serra after almost breaking Serra's left shoulder, which won Cannon his third USW Championship reign ending Serra's reign at 84 days.
On the November 24, 2013 PPV Bullet Proof; Serra returned to USW after Cannon retained his USW Championship and was celebrating with his group. Serra's music played and Cannon hid behind his group members which attempted to ambush Serra but failed after Serra fought all 5 members bare handed and knocked them all unconscious leaving only Cannon to take down; Serra lifted Cannon above his shoulders and performed the Hardyac Face Plant on Cannon through the announce table. He said he would leave Final Chapter as the new USW Champion. On the November 27, 2013 taping of Intensity; Serra signed a contract to fight against Cannon for the USW Championship. At the Final Chapter PPV on December 8, 2013; Serra faced Cannon for the championship in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. During the match, Serra threw Cannon off the ladder and through a table outside of the ring and climbed to the top until Verse 9 from Cannon's group flipped over the top of the ladder and attempted to power bomb Serra off the ladder but was kicked in the head by Serra while he was in mid-air. The rest of the group came in and shoved the ladder over causing Serra to fall off and go through the announcer table injuring his left shoulder, hip, and tailbone. As the group attempted to help Cannon climb the ladder, Serra crossbodied onto 3 members at the bottom of the ladder looking up, he pulled one off the ladder and over the top rope and pushed the other off the top of the ladder and straight over the ropes and onto the ringside floor. Serra got Cannon over his shoulders and performed the Hardyac Face Plant on Cannon off the ladder shoving Cannon the ringmat and allowing Serra to retrieve the championship and win his third USW Championship reign, ending Cannon's reign at 123 days marking the longest USW Championship reign in history. As Cannon walked up the enterance ramp, he was attacked by his own group which scattered the group members all around the arena. Serra walked out holding the championship above his head. Serra had no choice but to take more time off with a left shoulder fracture and bone lasseration, along with an abdomen strain and a tailbone separation. On December 12, 2013; Serra had surgery on his tailbone to re-connect the Tailbone cord to his upper back. Serra was written off by saying he had another shoulder injury, and wrote off the USW Championship by Cannon destroying the belt (it was a custom fake belt so the real championship would not be broken) and Serra was not seen in a USW ring until on January 15, 2014; vignettes started to air on Wednesday Night Intensity promoting Serra's return to USW in April 2014; but on the January 22, 2014 Wednesday Night Intensity taping, the vignette video promoting his return had words written in red saying: "The Hell Hound Returns 2.23.14" Which obviously portrays Serra because of his nickname. On a second vignette that night; the video promoting Serra's return was cut off and featured disturbing camera cuts of graveyards and morgues saying in the video: "The end of a legacy is almost here" "Life as it is currently known is about to be demolished" and "Wish him good luck, he'll need every last bit of it if he want's to walk away from April with his own legs 2.23.14" which is thought to be promoting the return of Morbid which was the man Serra defeated at USW Call To Greatness IX. On February 5, 2014 on Serra's fourteenth birthday, he resigned with the promotion for another year.
==== USW Championship runs (November 2013- February 2015) ====
On February 23, 2014 at "USW Insanity" Serra returned to the organization after the "20 Man Gauntlet Match Main Event" ended and gave the winner Lone Wolf a chance at either a USW Championship match or USW World Heavyweight Championship match at Call To Greatness IX on April 27, 2014. Morbid (Serra's opponent at Call To Greatness IX to whom he defeated at the event) returned first into the arena with a giant black sheet covering him and called Serra out to the ring. Serra walked out with a new USW Championship belt design and a new entrance theme "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park. The two started a brawl which Sera ended up winning. The following Wednesday at Intensity; Westernlight defeated YoYo Joe and earned a USW Championship match at Steel Pergatory against Serra. Serra defeated USW World Heavyweight Champion Cannon later that night by disqualification after Morbid interfered. Serra match with Westernlight was made a Scaffold match. Serra defeated Westernlight in the scaffold match at USW Steel Pergatory after hanging him up on the scaffold ladder. Serra did not appear on the March 5, 2014 Wednesday Night Intensity. Serra competed on Wednesday Night Intensity on March 26, 2014 in a losing effort against Cannon because of a distraction by Morbid. Serra was scheduled to defend the USW Championship against Westernlight at USW Final Chapter on March 30, 2014; but called out because Serra had received a bad stomach virus the same morning and could not get to Albany, NY. Serra returned to USW on the April 9, 2014 edition of USW Wednesday Night Intensity by opening the show with a tribute to The Ultimate Warrior and then team up with USW World Heavyweight Champion Majagetta to face Westernlight and YoYo Joe in the Main Event in a winning effort thanks to Lone Wolf hitting Majagetta in the face with the USW World Heavyweight Championship belt twice and then closed the show by challenging Majagetta to a match at USW Call To Greatness IX for the USW World Heavyweight Championship.

==== ENIGMA (April-November 2014) ====
From April 2014 until June 2014; a character named ENIGMA performed for USW. ENIGMA's identity was not known until Serra revealed himself as ENIGMA in his Ladders Match against YoYo Joe for the USW Championship when he placed on the mask and looked into the camera. Serra would go on to win the match and announce that his name is now ENIGMA; turning [[heel (professional wrestling)]] for the first time since 2008 and changing his name for the first time while working for Whacked Out Wrestling or Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Serra would also be officially a former Blue Belt Championship holder as well needing only a tag team or territory championship to become the first Triple Crown champion and both to become the first Grand Slam. On the July 2, 2014 edition of USW Wednesday Night Intensity; Serra would talk about his decision to attack other performers and would go on to tell the fans that it was ENIGMA now and not Hardy so there would no longer be any Hardyac Face Plants or any Stomach Pumps and now it was spears. Serra would attack owner Kyle Reece after Reece went looking for ENIGMA backstage and would throw Reece through a glass window. Serra would then attack YoYo Joe and Capitol and would steal Capitol's USW World Heavyweight Championship. Serra would also defeat Reece later to retain the USW Championship. On the July 9, 2014 edition of Intensity; Serra would face YoYo Joe in a winning effort and would then attack High Risk who was the guest show runner for the night in place of his son Kyle Reece not being present.

On the November 5, 2014 edition of Intensity; Serra would lose to DHIG and would allow DHIG to shake his hand out of respect which he did. The two then attacked Hills and Franklin who came out to attack Serra after the match was over. Serra then raised the hand of DHIG as the crowd cheered on; Serra used this as a show of respect to DHIG, whom he admitted was very gifted as a professional wrestler in an interview after the show concluded as Serra was leaving the building. Over the next few weeks; Serra would face off in matches also involving the world championship picture, leading up to a confrontation between Hills, Franklin and himself on the final Intensity before Bullet Proof VII. Serra would overcome the two in a brawl and unmask himself. His final appearance as ENIGMA was on Intensity of November 26, 2014.
At Bullet Proof VII, Serra would return and disband the ENIGMA character in the process. Serra would defeat Ezarank Hills and retain the USW Championship before celebrating until the pay-per-view concluded. Serra then was put into a short feud with Derrick Carter; which would culminate into a match between the two at USW Aftershock 2014 for the USW Championship in which Serra was victorious. The two were set to feud until February, but due to Carter tearing his ACL in real life during a workout, Cannon was slotted into a rivalry with Serra leading up to a match between the two at USW No Forgiveness 2015. The match at No Forgiveness would end up becoming a brawl between Cannon and Serra, and would end up having Serra' Hardy character being blown up in a car explosion. Serra would not be seen on the following two editions of Intensity, but would return in time to set up a short lived re-boot rivalry between Serra, Majagetta and Cannon. The three would face each other at Insanity 2015, which Serra came out victorious.

Serra would go on to lose that match, and end his USW Championship reign at 247 days. Serra was then written off by having Majagetta hit the decapitator on him twice (once before Majagetta hit him with it and walking out to win, and then hitting it against Serra while he was leaning up against the cage wall.) Majagetta would win the match and Serra would be written off due to a real life torn tendon in his right arm. On February 5, 2015; Serra would once again resign with the company for another year.
==== Injury, Various Feuds and Departure (March 2015-February 2016) ====
On the February 18, 2015 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra would go for a Stomach Pump on both Majagetta and Cannon, however he overlooked the maneuver and planted Majagetta before Cannon instead of both at the same time. Serra would aggravate a tendon in his right arm; however later in the match, Serra would be knocked off of the top rope and have his right arm caught up in the corner post. Serra has gone on to say that landing awkwardly on the ring post was what tore the tendon in his right arm. After winning at Insanity and losing the following Wednesday on Intensity, Serra would lose the USW Championship at Steel Pergatory 2015 and he would be written off by having Majagetta (the new USW Champion) hit the Decapitator on him twice. Serra would return at Call To Greatness X on April 26, 2015 to announce that he has made arrangements to stay with USW, at least until his current contract runs out. Serra would be involved later in the show, when he and Cannon would he the rest of the USW roster ward off the Masked Assailants due to their involvement in the main event match. Serra was one of the people to lift Dwayne Porter in the air after he defeated Dustin Ramond to become the new USW Champion.
Serra would return on the June 17, 2015 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity to confront Majagetta for injuring him and taking him out of action for three months. He would return after debuting a new theme song "The Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin (the band who created a former theme song for him in "I Will Not Bow" that he used in WoW and at the beginning of his run with USW in 2013.) Serra would scuffle with Majagetta and challenge him to a Metal Chain Hangmans Match at Hardcore Haven 2015. On June 21, 2015 at Hardcore Haven; Serra would defeat Majagetta in the Metal Chain Hangmans Match. Serra would fight in his first match on Intensity in over three months on the June 24, 2015 episode, in which he defeated Grey Hound in a jobber match. Before the match began, Serra entered to the ring (as a part of his normal entrance) with a new gimmick, depicting him as a 90's grunge rocker; with his regular blue jeans and wrestling boots, and adding a short-sleeve blue and white striped t-shirt over a long-sleeved flannel shirt, and his hair being unkempt and messy. The gimmick would later be dropped by Serra, reverting to his previous babyface persona. On the July 1, 2015 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity; Serra would be given the choice to choose Majagetta' opponent for the first match on the card, in which he would choose for Double XL to face Majagetta. Double XL would then defeat Majagetta, and Serra would hit the Hardyac Jaw on him when he got to his knees. Serra then told Majagetta that he asked Kyle Reece Jr. for their match at the OutCast 2015 special to be a No Disqualification Match, and that request had been granted. This would lead into a match being made official for the OutCast 2015 special; in which Serra would face Majagetta in a No Disqualification Match. The match would happen at the USW OutCast 2015 Special; in which Majagetta would be victorious over Serra. The two would meet again at Ultimate Consequence 2015, in which Majagetta would gain another victory after Double XL attacked Serra to give Majagetta an easy win. Serra would be set up to face Double XL and Capitol at Capital Carnage 2015. Serra would face Double XL and Capitol at Capital Carnage as a "tweener" and would go on to win the match by making Capitol submit to a Crossface. After the match, Serra would be confronted by a Ferocity performer Wyler, who would hit a Wy? on him and stare down on him. This would set up a feud between Serra and Wyler, who has been described as a more psychopathic and violent version of Serra' ENIGMA character. Serra and Wyler would feud over the next few months with Wyler picking up a win over Serra at USW Top Rope 2015, and Serra bringing back the ENIGMA character for one night, and picking up a win over Wyler at the USW No Regret 2015. Serra would then be entered in the eight man USW Championship number one contenders tournament, which he would win by defeating Otis Crane in the finals, to earn a USW Championship shot against Alexander Rotten (then champion) at Aftershock 2015, in which Serra would be victorious. This would end up being Serra's final run with the USW Championship. Serra would then retain the championship against Rotten in a rematch the following Wednesday on Intensity, before being entered in his final program during his first tenure with USW against Derrick Carter. The two would feud going into No Forgiveness 2016 (Serra's final USW pay per view event before his contract expired) for Serra' USW Championship. Serra and Carter would end up having one of the best matches of the year for the company, with Carter defeating Serra and taking the USW Championship in the process, after Serra's final match in the company. Serra would then go on to have a good-bye send off by the entire roster the following Wednesday on Intensity (his final USW event under contract) being greeted by Cannon and Majagetta (long time real life friends) Westernlight and YoYo Joe (long time co workers since 2008) as well as Anarchy, Ash, Dwayne Porter, Dustin Ramond and Morbid, who until their match at Call To Greatness IX (almost two years prior) was in a real life feud with Serra. Serra left the ring and the building with his original USW theme song "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin playing, and being thanked with "We Will Miss You" chants from the live crowd before waving goodbye and stepping backstage as the show went off air, which would be his final on-screen appearance for the company as a full time performer. Serra would return to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling in May of the same year during a confrontation between Cannon and Derrick Carter, where he would talk to both performers who could not be in the same ring with each other, as Cannon's motive for feuding with Derrick Carter was to avenge Serra's prior character for not being able to get revenge on Carter sourcing him out of USW. Serra would then turn from Cannon to talk to Carter, but would fall victim to a superkick with Carter running out of the ring, and Cannon chasing after him. Carter would run backstage and get in a car and drive away, with Cannon and Serra walking up to where the car was to end the episode. This would be the final appearance of Serra on USW episodes for the year of 2016.
=== New Japan Pro Wrestling (2017) ===
A year after his departure from Ultimate Showcase Wrestling and semi-retirement announcement, rumors started to circulate that Serra would be competing for NJPW in the 2017 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, Serra has refused to comment on it, but has posted pictures on his personal Instagram account with the #BOSJ in the comment section, possibly hinting at a stint with New Japan. Whilst he has not commented officially on the matter of an NJPW appearance, he has stated before that he would love to work for the company and get a feel for professional wrestling outside of the United States.
=== WCPW (2016) ===
Serra teased a possible return to wrestling in mid-to-end of 2016 when he posted a photo to Snapchat with the caption, "London Calling, See you soon WCPW." to which many speculated was just a simple tease. Serra has stated that he was in talks with many sporadic appearances with the then-new company, but his schedule was not able to allow him every date he wished for, so instead decided to call off the venture all together, and remove any hinting of his appearances with WCPW.
=== Independent Circuit (2017) ===
In January of 2017, Serra confirmed that he had booked five independent wrestling shows in Maryland, Virginia and Delaware areas, whilst also making a trip to Washington D.C, officially starting his tenure on the independent circuit, to which Serra would make every appearance for.
Serra had booked independent shows in New York and New Jersey for the month of May 2017, but due to scheduling conflicts and educational conflicts, Serra canceled all of those dates.
=== Return to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling (2017-present) ===
==== Return and becoming number one contender to the USW Championship (June-September 2017) ====
After a year and half had passed since his last run in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, Serra announced in mid-June of 2017 that he had signed a new contract with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Serra would make his return to the promotion to a large ovation at the USW Hellfire 2017 pay per view on June 25, 2017 after costing Morbid an opportunity at the USW Championship in the main event of the show. On the July 19th edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra was officially scheduled to face Morbid at USW War Zone 2 (the next USW pay per view in chronological order.) On July 20th, 2017; lead singer of Linkin Park Chester Bennington passed away, and as a tribute to his memory, Serra announced on his Twitter account that he would revert to the Linkin Park song "Somewhere I Belong" (a theme song he had used prior from 2014 until 2015) immediately, which would be shown true, as he would appear on the July 26th edition of Intensity using the "Somewhere I Belong" theme. Serra would be announced to be competing against Derrick Carter at the USW Capital Carnage 2017 pay per view, where the winner would become the number one contender for the USW Championship. Serra would defeat Derrick Carter at Capital Carnage, and become the new number one contender for the USW Championship.
==== Ten Time World Champion, and Seventh USW Championship Reign (September 2017-February 2018) ====
After becoming the new number one contender for the USW Championship at USW Capital Carnage 2017, Serra was put up against the then-USW Champion Benny Franklin at the USW Allegiance 2017 pay per view for the championship. This would become the first opportunity for Hardy to achieve his "Quest for Ten" which was made to signify his quest for his tenth world championship reign. Franklin would often bash Hardy on the Intensity taping's while Hardy was not present, thus starting a feud between the two going into Allegiance. At the Allegiance 2017 pay per view, Ezarank Hills would return to distract Benny Franklin (whom had taken him out of action at the Capital Carnage pay per view a month prior) allowing for Hardy to hit his discus lariat on Benny Franklin to win the USW Championship. The win would make Hardy a record making seven time USW Champion, and a ten time pro wrestling world champion, becoming the first performer in USW history to reach the accomplishment. At USW Aerial Attack 2017, Hardy would make his first defense of the USW Championship under his tenth world championship reign against Derrick Carter in a Ladder Match. During the match, Serra attempted a corner high-knee, which resulted in him hitting his knee on the cement post. Despite this, Serra would finish the match without injury (despite the bruising later on in the week) and defeat Carter to retain the championship. Serra was announced for the November 4, 2017 Whacked Out Wrestling Reunion Show to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the promotion disbanding, and was originally expected to face Cannon and Majagetta in a three way dance for the WoW Xtreme Championship, however; the match was changed to start as a singles match between Serra and Cannon after Majagetta had gotten legitimately suspended by the promotion for a physical altercation with a fan a few days prior to the event, thus being scratched from the card. The match went on, but midway through, was adjusted to a three way dance with a returning Crosby Thorne being added in. The match was well received, and Serra would end up losing the match to Crosby Thorne, however he is still seen as the final WoW Xtreme Champion. On November 26, 2017 at Bullet Proof X, Serra defeated Derrick Carter in the main event of the show to retain the USW Championship, marking the first time since 2014 that he secured a victory at Bullet Proof, his last appearance being a loss to Fernandez and Gringo at Bullet Proof 8. At the USW Illusion pay per view, Serra would defeat Benny Franklin and Ezarank Hills in a three way dance to retain the USW Championship. During the match, Ezarank Hills would injure his knee after performing a seated senton from the top rope, tearing his partellar tendon, and taking him out of action for a number of months. The finish was made clear to have been Serra rolling up Hills to win via pinfall, but it had to be changed mid-match, with Serra rolling up Franklin to retain the championship instead.
On January 2, 2018, Serra announced that he would resign with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling for another six months, and would start taking more Intensity and House Show dates. He also revealed that his contract allows him to perform in any promotion that he would like to perform in on the grounds that those dates do not infringe on Serra's dates with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Serra would make his return to Wednesday Night Intensity for the first time in almost two years as an active performer on the January 10 episode of Intensity. This would also be the day that marked Serra's ten year anniversary from his debut match in 2008. Serra would cut a promo on Hernastly, who won a match just before that to become the next challenger to Serra's championship, referring to Hernastly as a mid-carder playing the role of a main eventer, before telling him that he [Serra] was responsible for USW' existence, the fans passion, and most importantly, Hernastly's career itself, before walking away. This would cement a turn for Serra where he would become a tweener for the second time in his career, which would lead into his USW Championship match against Hernastly at Insanity later that month. On the January 24 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra opened the show by talking about Hernastly's claims from the previous week about how he did not deserve to be in the position that he was currently in. Serra countered this by asking what Hernastly has done to earn the crowd's admiration at any point in time recently, before being interrupted by the Martin Brothers, who would start to talk to Serra about being respected as a champion. After being insulted by Alex Martin, he challenged him to a match in the main event of the show, in which he won. This would be Serra's first match on Intensity in over two years, in which he would come out victorious in. After the match, Alex's brother George Martin would run out and attack Hardy, this would result in Hernastly running out to make the save and run off the Martin Brothers. Afterwards, Hernastly would extend his hand out to Serra to help him up, but he would retract it at the last moment and walk away before turning around out of guilt and getting hit with a superkick by Serra. At USW Insanity 2018; Serra would defeat Hernastly to retain the USW Championship in a match that many claimed to be his best match since Call To Greatness IX against Morbid. After the match, Serra would refuse to shake Hernastly's hand, instead giving him a fist bump and telling him, "This isn't over, yet" before walking away. 
On the January 31 edition of Intensity, James defeated Hernastly to become the new number one contender to Serra's USW Championship, and the match would take place at USW' No Forgiveness 2018 pay per view. Neither performer would be present for the following week's Intensity, but they would face each other in the championship match at the pay per view. At No Forgiveness 2018; Serra would lose to James after failing to hit the Hardyac Face Plant, and suffering a hit from James' finishing maneuver "The Midway" to lose the USW Championship. The following month at the Allegiance 2018 pay per view, Serra would come close to defeating James to regain the USW Championship, but would lose the match after being attacked by Kyle Reece Jr, causing a distraction that would cost him the match. This would set up a feud between Serra and Reece going into Call To Greatness XIII at the end of April of that year.
==== Feud with Kyle Reece Jr and Return to Call To Greatness (March-April 2018) ====
Upon his loss at the Allegiance 2018 pay per view, Serra would begin his quest for revenge on Kyle Reece Jr. After being unable to attend the March 14 edition of Intensity, Serra released a YouTube video calling out Reece Jr for abusing his power as the General Manager of Wednesday Night Intensity, and his poor treatment of talent like interviewer Rose Line and lead color commentator Marcus Felton. He would explain that while most people on Intensity would be fired for speaking out against Reece Jr, he was the one man that could do so without Reece Jr having any true authority over him. He exclaimed that while Reece Jr pissed him off, it only made him a target to Serra, which meant that the target needed to be taken down. Serra would proceed to challenge Reece Jr to a match at the upcoming Call To Greatness XIII pay per view in a Hell in a Cell match, the first occurrence of the Hell in a Cell match in USW history. He then proceeded to tell Reece Jr that if Serra were to lose, he would walk away from USW, and focus on music full time rather than professional wrestling. However; Reece Jr would have to vacate his authority as General Manager of Wednesday Night Intensity (whilst still expected to maintain a commissioner status over the brand) if Serra were to walk out victorious. Serra proceeded to leave Reece Jr to think about the challenge. On the March 21 edition of Intensity, Reece Jr would walk out surrounded by security in case Serra were to unexpectedly show up (which would not happen) and proceed to mock Serra's challenge. Reece Jr would state that by Serra calling him out and challenging him to a match without fear of being fired, only made matters worse for Serra, as Reece Jr could get rid of him for good rather than just send him home. Reece Jr then went into detail about how he knew Serra was the future of the Reece Family Promotions brand the second he met him, however; sadly for Serra's case, that future that he was back in 2008, is now the past in 2018. Reece Jr would then go on to proclaim Serra as the biggest problem in USW today, and by defeating him at Call To Greatness, Reece Jr would forever be known as the man to rid the biggest problem in USW for good. Reece Jr would then accept the match, and offer Serra an invitation to meet him one on one to hash things out verbally the following week. The following week, Serra and Reece had a war of words, with Serra furthering the bitterness for his boss by calling him nothing more than a "lousy car salesman" and a "failure in his own company compared to his father and his brother." This would end with Hardy attempting to attack Reece, but Reece hitting him in the face with a screwdriver (much like at the Allegiance pay per view) and hitting him with a tornado-DDT, which was meant to debut the move as Reece's new finishing maneuver. At Call To Greatness XIII, Serra would defeat Reece inside of Hell in a Cell, to keep his position in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, whilst also forcing Kyle Reece Jr to relinquish his status as the general manager of the Wednesday Night Intensity brand. On the April 25 edition of Intensity, Serra would promise to defeat Reece Jr the following Sunday at the event, before being attacked by Reece Jr's personal security guard Mark. Reece Jr would then hit another Tornado DDT on Serra, earning the momentum going into the pay per view. At Call To Greatness XIII, Serra would defeat Reece Jr despite interference from Reece Jr's personal security, to force Reece Jr out of position as the General Manager of Intensity, whilst also raising his record of continuous victories at the event to seven concurrent wins without a loss. On the May 2 edition of Intensity, Kyle Reece Sr would announce that executives were looking for someone to replace Reece Jr as the General Manager of Intensity before Serra would walk down and offer Rose Line as the option for the next General Manager of the Intensity brand. After a brief explanation of the job, Reece Sr officially gave the position to Rose Line, thus officially concluding Serra's feud with Reece Jr.
==== Complicated relations with Authority and feud with Kevin Storm (May-September 2018) ====
On the May 9 edition of Intensity, Serra would be interviewed by Nathan Greeneway about his lack of a match at the following Sunday's No Remorse pay per view, to which Serra explained that he always had a plan, and that the No Remorse pay per view would be no difference. Later in the show, Serra would offer Rose Line an option to have USW Champion James close the show with a promo on Kevin Storm, who returned the week prior and attacked James, thus causing them to have a match for the championship at the pay per view, to which Rose Line agreed to and notified James of. Serra would then exchange flirtatious comments with Rose Line, seemingly continuing their on-screen relationship with each other that started in the latter half of the previous year, making Serra romantically involved with the authority figure on Intensity, leaving room for this to lead to a story in the following months. At the No Remorse pay per view, Serra would appear as ENIGMA before Kevin Storm attempted a pinfall on a downed James. The lights would then go out, and come back on with Serra staring at Kevin Storm before kicking him in the gut and hitting him with the Discus Lariat, effectively turning into a tweener. On the May 16 edition of Intensity, Kevin Storm would open the show voicing his displeasure with Serra for costing him his championship opportunity the previous Sunday. The lights would go out once again, and turn on with Serra standing in the middle of the ring with full face paint staring down Storm again. Serra would extend his arms outwards before the lights would go out again, and return with Serra nowhere to be found. On the May 30 edition of Intensity, Serra would defeat Kevin Storm in the main event of the show, countering a Storm Warning into a superkick, before hitting the Discus Lariat for the clean pinfall win. The following week on the June 6 edition of Intensity, Rose Line would break things off with Serra, calling for their relationship to be made purely professional, putting and end to the romantic angle between the two. At the first USW Fight of the Night special, Serra would side with Rose Line to confront Severity commissioner Martin Reece and World Heavyweight Champion Majagetta, leading to both brand authority figures to put Serra and Majagetta in a match against each other later in the night. Serra would go on to lose that match, as Kevin Storm would put Serra through the commentary table with the Storm Warning while the referee was unconscious, leading to the referee counting Serra out. On the June 27 edition of Intensity, Kevin Storm would attack Rose Line, injuring her in kayfabe, and forcing her to take a leave of absence in an effort to get inside of Serra's head. The following week, Serra would open the show cutting a promo on Kevin Storm, before telling Kevin Storm to pay close attention, as Serra would proceed to take a cameraman hostage and hit the cameraman with the Hardyac Face Plant, planting the seeds to Serra snapping. Later that night, Serra would be confronted by Kyle Reece Jr, who would tell Serra that he was now implemented as the interim general manager of the Intensity brand, leaving Serra to fight authority in addition to Kevin Storm. At the Octane 2018 pay per view on July 8, Serra would lose to Kevin Storm in a grudge match, effectively evening the series. After the match, Storm would proceed to attack Serra after the match, eventually making his way to the stage and hitting Serra with a powerbomb off of the edge of the stage, putting him out of action for a few weeks with a concussion. Over the following weeks, Serra would antagonize Storm with cryptic messages, featuring his former alias ENIGMA, as well as signaling that he will show Storm a darker side of himself. This would culminate into Serra returning on the August 8 edition of Intensity, appearing as a part of a mob of people dressed as ENIGMA, before revealing himself to Storm and attacking him with a crowbar. Serra would then hit Storm with the Hardyac Face Plant, and remind him that this is only the beginning. At Capital Carnage 2018, Serra would defeat Kevin Storm with the Discus Lariat, effectively winning and ending the series. 
==== Heel Turn, Metric and Red Belt Champion (October 2018-September 2019) ====
Towards the beginning of October, Serra would be embroiled in a feud with then-USW Champion James that he was originally involved in earlier within that year for the USW Championship. Serra would be placed into a match against James at that month's Hellfire pay per view for the championship, in which he would compete in a losing effort. However; after the match, the vigilante group that had been attacking performers in months prior, citing Serra's orders as reason for doing so, would surround the ring as James would effectively blame Serra for doing so. Serra would return the favor and, out of anger, superkick James in the face. He would then allow the vigilante group to attack James, before striking James over the skull with the USW Championship, effectively turning heel in the process. The following Wednesday on Intensity, Serra would describe his reason for doing so as a lack of trust between the fans and roster and himself, feeling betrayed, thus describing himself as a "flex-heel." Later that night, however; James would call out Serra and challenge him to a match at Bullet Proof XI for the USW Championship, which Serra would accept. Serra would proceed to hit the Discus Lariat on James, confirming his heel turn. The following week, Serra would describe his actions as being justified, whilst calling out James for being too "disassociated from reality." Following the main event of that show, Serra would again attack James after his match, hitting him with the Discus Lariat, continuing the heel storyline. Serra would eventually face James in a rematch at Bullet Proof XI with the USW Championship on the line in a losing effort, failing once again to capture the championship. Serra would enter the match with new ring gear, including "Metric-styled" ring tights, as well as continuing to use "Black Sheep" as his solo entrance music, and no longer being introduced as "The Prodigal Son of Professional Wrestling." at USW Chaos Theory 2018; Serra would lose to Benny Franklin, causing him to flip out on the following Wednesday's episode of Wednesday Night Intensity. This would lead into Serra challenging Crosby Thorne to a match for the Red Belt Championship at Insanity 2019, which Serra would win to become the Red Belt Champion for the first time in his career, in the process making him a triple crown champion in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Serra would continue to use heel tactics over the following months, which would eventually earn him matches for the USW Championship at both Vendetta 2019 and Call To Greatness XIV: Chicago, neither of which he would emerge victorious in. Serra was then involved in a short feud with Andrew Palmer going into No Remorse 2019, where he would defeat Andrew Palmer to retain the Red Belt Championship. In the following weeks, it was revealed that Serra would defend the Red Belt Championship against Simon Saint at War Zone 4. At War Zone 4, Serra would defeat Saint to send Saint to the Friday Night Severity brand in addition to retaining the Red Belt Championship. The following week, Serra's next defense of the Red Belt Championship was confirmed to be against new addition to the Wednesday Night Intensity roster Otis Crane in a singles match on the July 14 Retaliation pay per view. At Retaliation, Serra would lose the match to Otis Crane, ending his first Red Belt Championship reign. During the tapings for the next set of Wednesday Night Intensity episodes, Serra would receive his Red Belt Championship rematch, and would go onto defeat Otis Crane during the tapings to win the Red Belt Championship for the second time, with the episode broadcast on July 24. On the July 31, edition of Intensity aired on tape delay, it was confirmed that Serra would be defending the Red Belt Championship once again against Otis Crane at the Capital Carnage pay per view. On August 11 at Capital Carnage, Serra would lose the Red Belt Championship to Otis Crane after being betrayed by former Metric stablemate Anarchy, who would strike Serra over the head with a chair and allow Crane to hit the Stepladder to become the two-time Red Belt Champion, effectively leaving the group. On the August 14 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra would cut a promo on Anarchy's betrayal before being interrupted by Phillip Akron, who would call out Serra for being too weak to accept his own faults, thus creating the crack that broke Anarchy's trust to Metric. Serra would respond to this by attacking Phillip Akron backstage later in the night, thus beginning a feud between the two. On the August 28 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Phillip Akron would earn his revenge by attacking Serra after his match with Benny Franklin, only to be run off by the remainder of Metric before he could hit the Akorn. On the September 4 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Phillip Akron would challenge Serra to confront him face to face, only for Serra to refuse, instead opting to walk down to the ring with the remaining members of Metric. This outcome would result in Phillip Akron challenging Serra to a stipulation-based match at Allegiance, with the stipulation decided being one to ensure that Metric would not be able to get involved. On the September 11 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra would defeat Quincy Newsome whilst Phillip Akron would lose to Mr. Anthony, thus giving Serra the right to choose the stipulation, which would be announced later that night as a Ring of Fire match. The match, however, would never take place as Phillip Akron was attacked backstage by Metric, before being taken for medical help and ultimately giving Serra the victory via forfeit, ending the feud. After being interrupted whilst cutting a promo on an episode of Intensity by Quincy Newsome, a match would be made between the two at Hellfire, which Quincy Newsome would win. Following this match, Serra would go on an indefinite hiatus from Ultimate Showcase Wrestling due to creative differences. In the following months, Seth and Chain Reaction, followed shortly thereafter by the remaining members of Metric would return to singles and tag team competition whilst dropping the Metric label, thus officially disbanding the group. In later weeks, Serra would go on record in saying that he viewed Metric as one of his greatest creative failures and said that the booking for the group was one of the biggest reasons for his hiatus, as he feels like the entire purpose of the group was shattered by writers after the first two months, with the idea of using each other to find their own success and lift each other further in the card becoming "quashed" once Metric began working as Serra's muscle, moving the group and himself into another generic leader and bodyguards group like plenty others that Serra wanted to steer away from. On December 25, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling announced the winners of their 2019 Golden Awards, with Serra winning the award for "Craziest Moment of the Year" for leaping off the scaffolding over the ring at Call To Greatness XIV: Chicago. 
==== Return, Repackaging as Judas Avion, and the Fabulous Killjoys (April 2020-August 2023) ====
Serra would return to Wednesday Night Intensity on the first show since Call To Greatness XV: San Diego, this time without any affiliation to Metric, officially dissolving the original incarnation of the group. At Call To Greatness XV, Serra would make a brief appearance, staring down Mr. Anthony. Serra would take on new USW Champion George Martin in a losing effort before beginning a feud with Mr. Anthony, defeating him in a match at Illusion 2020. The following weeks leading into War Zone Five, Serra and Anthony would be called out by Friday Night Severity's stable, the Black Background, where they would team together to better their odds. Serra and Anthony would then be confirmed to be taking on two members of the Black Background at War Zone Five, in a match they would win.
Following this match, Serra and Anthony would go onto take part in several segments filmed in downtown New York City prior to the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, which would feature Serra trying to get Anthony, a man with a small farm in rural Connecticut, more accustomed to the urban, city life Serra lives in. These segments would include Serra and Anthony walking through snow-covered New York in a skit that aired on a June 2020 episode of Intensity, alluding to the nature of the skit having been taped months prior. Other segments would include a call back to Serra's real-life relationship with Taylor Hensen, also known under the ring name of Taylor Hell, that had not been mentioned on Intensity programming prior, and Anthony politely apologizing to a man in a corner store that would hold him at gunpoint, forcing to run away and hide in a corner just outside the store as Serra watched, unphased. Amidst this storyline, Serra would make his second appearance on the Friday Night Severity brand when he appeared as the surprise opponent to Norris Cadavery in the main event of the Caution pay per view for the World Heavyweight Championship. This would be Serra's second appearance for the Severity brand of his career, and his first match on a Severity pay per view, as well as his first match challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. Serra would lose the match to Norris Cadavery, having performed in relief of Simon Saint, who had been unable to enter the New York-New Jersey area from Vermont due to a mandatory, fourteen-day quarantine. Following the show, Serra and Anthony would continue their skits, which would slowly start to shift to Anthony trying to accustom Serra to his quiet, rural-area life. These segments would lead to another tag team match against the Marvelous Brothers in Arms at the Allegiance pay per view event (which was pre-taped in August 2020). After an error with the USW InTake platform, both the Allegiance and Emergence events (which were in the system to air when originally intended) were released prematurely due to a system failure, making the events available at typical price for three hours before the fault was fixed and patched. Due to their purchase, the event was made available to them prior to the events launch. At the Allegiance event, Serra and Anthony would lose to the Marvelous Brothers in Arms, thus leading to both Serra and Anthony filming a series of sketches attending raves and parties with a mysterious woman, later named Daria. The pair would begin recreating themselves, establishing new identities to separate their prior stages of their careers from their new ones.
Upon this new character development, Mr. Anthony would begin being referred to as "Luka Reeves" whilst Serra, officially leaving his previous character behind, would be repackaged as "Judas Avion", the confident anchor keeping the cocky Luka Reeves from getting too out of hand. The characters would be a take on the album "The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" by the American rock band My Chemical Romance, officially branding their team name as "The Fabulous Killjoys." Serra would begin using a new finishing maneuver called "Look Alive, Sunshine", a variation of a running bicycle knee strike. Serra would effectively drop the "Prodigal Son" gimmick, as well as the Badflower song "Soap" as his entrance theme, sharing "Na Na Na" by the band My Chemical Romance with Reeves as his entrance theme.
At Bullet Proof 13, Serra would pair with the now-Luka Reeves as the Fabulous Killjoys for the first time, defeating the USW Tag Team Champions Marvelous Brothers in Arms (Fernandez & Gringo) in a non-title match. Having now defeated the reigning champions in a non-title match, the Fabulous Killjoys would earn the right to a rematch, this time with the championships on the line. The match would be set for Insanity 2021, with Serra teaming with Reeves once more in a losing effort against the Marvelous Brothers in Arms, failing to capture the tag team championships. Now established in the tag team picture on Intensity, Serra and Reeves would continue to team on Intensity over the coming weeks, competing against the teams of Sam Basin and Shane Grayson and the Stargazers. The feud between the Marvelous Brothers in Arms and the Fabulous Killjoys now including the teams of Basin and Grayson and the Stargazers, a match for the championships would be made for Call To Greatness XVI: Seattle between all four teams, competing in a Four Way, Wooden Metal match at the event, where Serra and Reeves would fail to capture the championships. At War Zone 6, Serra and Reeves would defeat Sam Basin and Shane Grayson. Serra would win the USW Tag Team Championship for the first time in his career, thus becoming a Grand Slam Champion.
On the March 23 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, Serra and Reeves would lose the USW Tag Team Championships to Marc Trevor and Tom Corter of RevoNow following interference from Otis Crane. Following the loss of the championships, Serra would enter a feud with Otis Crane over the Red Belt Championship, which would culminate in a match at Call To Greatness XVII: St. Louis, which Serra would win to claim the Red Belt Championship for the third time. Serra would reign as the Red Belt Champion for four months, losing the championship to Jake Porter on the August 17 edition of Intensity. Serra would return to tag team wrestling alongside Reeves for a short period of time prior to the start of the 2022 USW Playoffs, a new system introduced on the basis of accumulative win-loss records through the year. Serra would begin a feud with former foe Morbid going into 2023 during this time, who would be amidst a 'retirement tour' storyline. Using this, Morbid would demand that it be Serra who faced him at that year's Call To Greatness XVIII: Toronto event. After multiple refusals, Serra would eventually give into Morbid's request for a match at the event following multiple interruptions. Around this time, Serra would win the 2022 USW Playoffs final, earning a reward of his choosing. Serra would accept the terms of the match on the grounds that Morbid must retire in the event that Serra defeated him at Call To Greatness XVIII: Toronto, a complete switch from the stipulation on their match at Call To Greatness IX nine years prior, where Serra placed his career on the line in exchange for Morbid placing his unbeaten streak at the event at stake. At the event, Serra would win, remaining undefeated at Call to Greatness with a 10-0 record, officially retiring Morbid.
Following this match, Serra would return to teaming with Reeves for a few further months, their attention being set upon the USW Tag Team Championships again. Eventually earning an opportunity for the titles, Serra and Reeves would begin a feud with then-champions Seth and Chain Reaction, who were the lone remaining members of the Metric stable Serra had begun in 2018. Alongside Serra's real-life wife Taylor Hell as the group's third member, Seth and Reaction would torment the Fabulous Killjoys mentally just as the team did with them, leading to a championship match. On the August 23 edition of Intensity, the Fabulous Killjoys would defeat Metric to win the USW Tag Team Championships for the second time, but Reeves and Daria would turn heel directly following the match and a brief celebration, attacking Serra with the championship titles and officially disbanding the Fabulous Killjoys group. On the following day, it was announced that Reeves and Daria would be vacating the championships on behalf of Serra the following week on Intensity, ending the team's reign. This would result in Serra taking a prolonged absence from the brand and wrestling.
=== Return, "Implosion of the Fabulous Killjoys" and eighth USW Championship reign (November 2023-May 2024) ===
Following his heel turn, Reeves would go on to win the 2023 USW Championship Key and Case contract and successfully use its privileges shortly thereafter, winning the USW Championship for the first time. At the Bullet Proof 16: Boston pay per view on November 26, Serra would return following Reeves' successful defence of the USW Championship against the Promise Land's Tanner Wallace in the Kickoff Match, attacking Reeves after running out from the crowd and forcing him and manager Daria to run off, re-establishing himself as a babyface. Later in the night, Serra would declare in a backstage segment that he was reverting to his prior moniker and was intending to challenge for the USW Championship once again. On the November 29 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity, general manager Rose Line would grant Serra a match against Reeves for the USW Championship at the Insanity 2024: San Jose pay per view, and that Reeves was being given a deadline of the following week to accept the terms of that match. On the December 6 edition of Wednesday Night Intensity in Serra's hometown of Toronto, Canada, however, Line would announce during the opening segment that Reeves was refusing to face Serra at the Insanity event, and was voluntarily vacating the USW Championship to avoid the champion's responsibility of defending the championship when ordered by management. Despite Line attempting to award Serra with the championship outright and Serra's refusal to accept, James would return after a near seven-month absence alongside the new nickname of "The Living Target", demanding to challenge for the championship in Reeves' place. Line would proceed to replace Reeves' initial place, and declare that Serra would face James for the vacant championship at the Insanity pay per view event instead. The following week on the December 13 edition of Intensity, James would cut a promo building the match between the two off of their prior history, where Serra has been unable to beat James since first losing the USW Championship to him in February 2018. James would proceed to turn heel by telling the fans that he was better than what they gave him credit for, and he would be unwavering in reminding them. At Insanity 2024: San Jose, Serra would defeat James to win the USW Championship for a record-setting eighth time, and the first time since February 2017. After the match, Luka Reeves returned and attacked Serra, but was run off into the crowd following an unsuccessful attempt at hitting him over the head with the championship. Serra would end the show celebrating as the new champion with the audience. 
On the January 31 edition of Intensity and the debut of USW on FX, Serra would open the show and restart his feud with Luka Reeves and Daria, and alluded to having no defined challenger for Call To Greatness XIX: Hollywood due to Drake Veller's second-consecutive Insanity match victory the prior Sunday. Veller's placement on the Friday Night Severity brand would virtually guarantee that he'd not challenge Serra for the world championship of the Intensity brand, and allowing Serra to be challenged by his former partner instead. However, Daria would confront Serra on Reeves' behalf. Serra would direct her to act as a messenger for Reeves, confirming that their match at Call To Greatness would not only be for the USW Championship, but it would be the main event- marking the sixth time Serra would headline the event in his career, and the first time since 2019. Serra would work off the fan-created reference of Reeves' betrayal as "the Implosion of the Fabulous Killjoys" by using the metaphor of a sinking ship that he had abandoned, allowing Call To Greatness to serve as the "moment the wreckage hit the ocean floor." The pair would compete at Call To Greatness XIX: Hollywood, where Serra would defeat Reeves to remain undefeated at the event and retain the USW Championship. On the following edition of Intensity, Serra would unceremoniously vacate the USW Championship, declaring that he was leaving the brand. 
=== Move to Friday Night Severity, World Heavyweight Championship reign, heel turn, and the formation of Majesty (May 2024-present) ===
Two days following his release of the USW Championship, Serra would appear on Friday Night Severity for the first time as an active competitor, declaring that he was now assigned to the brand. In addition to agreeing to a move to the Friday show and vacating the USW Championship, he'd been given- in storyline- a guaranteed opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship. In this debut promo, Serra declared that he would face champion Nate Overkill- the leader of Imperial- for the title at War Zone 8: London. For weeks, Serra and Overkill would spar verbally, and Serra would specifically point out Lexi Stein in much of his rhetoric. During these weeks, Serra would also have contact with the Marvelous Brothers in Arms, Fernandez and Gringo. Serra would use his slight height advantage and history to portray Overkill as being below him and unfit for the top championship.
At War Zone 8: London, Serra would defeat Overkill to become World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career- winning his twelfth world championship. During the match, Stein would turn on Imperial, spraying Overkill in the face with bear spray and allowing Serra to strike Overkill with a DDT to win the match. Also during the match, the Marvelous Brothers in Arms renewed their feud with Imperial, taking them out of the equation in the match. At the end of the show, the Marvelous Brothers in Arms and Lexi Stein would stand with Serra, appearing to align themselves together and forming a new group. On the July 5 edition of Friday Night Severity, Serra would officially turn heel. Upon a brand new entrance, Serra would announce that his new group would be known as "Majesty", and was comprised of the best in the business. Serra would also retire the 2018-2024 iteration of the world title in favour of a modified version of the "Big Gold" world championship, featuring a brown leather strap and two square plates on either side of the center plate as opposed to the traditional, two rectangular boxes. Majesty and Imperial would continue their feud beyond War Zone 8: London.
=== ARC Wrestling (January 2019-February 2020) ===
On January 11, 2019; Serra announced via The Wrestle Target on Twitter that he would be promoting a show in Hartford, Connecticut on June 2, 2019 in conjunction with various wrestling promotions called "BLOCKBUSTER!" and would hold it under the name of "ARC Wrestling." Serra also revealed that he hoped to hold more shows after Blockbuster! under the ARC Wrestling banner, officially beginning his career as a professional wrestling promoter. At the BLOCKBUSTER! event, Serra defeated Dallas Jackson in a singles match in his ARC Wrestling debut. During the event, it was announced that Serra had been given permission to run another show under the ARC Wrestling banner called DAY OF RECKONING! in New York on November 25, 2019 during Bullet Proof weekend. In the weeks leading up to DAY OF RECKONING!, Serra would begin a feud with Hernastly over Hernastly invading ARC Wrestling following his termination from the Friday Night Severity brand, thus placing Serra in position to defend his brand. However, following continuous attacks from the former world champion, Serra would offer Hernastly a contract to perform under the ARC Wrestling brand in order for Serra to face him in a match sanctioned by the company. Hernastly would sign the contract, thus making the upcoming match between Serra and Hernastly official for DAY OF RECKONING!. At DAY OF RECKONING!, Serra would lose to Hernastly in both performer's official debuts as members of the ARC Wrestling brand, with the match between the two earning praise as the best match from the weekend's card between both DAY OF RECKONING! and Bullet Proof XII. During the show, Serra and ARC Wrestling announced their next pay per view for late-April 2020 on Call To Greatness XV weekend as ARC Wrestling: DESTINATION: SAN DIEGO.
In February 2020, Serra announced that he would be stepping away from an in-ring role within ARC Wrestling, as the promotion, now partially owned by Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, would be serving as a developmental system for the promotion. Serra has stated that he would be open to an in-ring role in the promotion if the opportunity arose, but he was currently focused on operating the promotion off-screen and serving as an executive to both the ARC Wrestling promotion, as well as a representative for the Ultimate Showcase Wrestling promotion. Aside from a period of time from late 2021 until mid 2022, Serra has acted as the head of creative for ARC Wrestling's weekly program, Thursday Night Revolution.
== Other Media ==
Through his connections with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, Serra has appeared on many non-competition series produced by the company, including being one of the three main cast members in the first season of "Pathway to Greatness", a twelve-episode documentary following the journey to the main event of Call To Greatness XIV: Chicago in the weeks leading to and following the event, which Serra was a part of. Serra was also documented in the sixth season of the series, leading into his Call To Greatness XIX: Hollywood match with Luka Reeves.
Serra is also one of the former owners and founders of UZ Media, a private company based out of Port Washington, New York. that formerly featured the UnitardZ Network YouTube channel, the professional wrestling news source The Wrestle Target, the membership-based streaming service UZ Direct, the membership-based story service UZ: The Chronicles, and the music-producing platform UZ Independent, as well as financial-partner ARC Wrestling, and ghost-writing business The Lyricist Ghouls. In July 2019, Serra announced his impending departure from the company. In April 2020, it was confirmed that Serra was planning on launching a new writing project specifically focused on the concept of written series he had established in UZ Media, solely owned by Serra himself. On June 11, 2020, Serra launched the Instagram account "officialpacer1" and listed himself as the founder of the company, which he would later list in his own bio, confirming his involvement in the project. The project's official name was revealed soon after to be Pacer1. In June 2020, Serra was let go UZ Media, being freed from his responsibilities due to the COVID-19, ending his tenure with UZ Media after four years.
Along with his connections to the company, Serra has also been featured in their non-wrestling productions, including being a playable character in the 2014 video game "USW Wrestling 2015: The Game". The game was taken off mobile devices in November 2016.
In late 2018, Serra began hosting the UZ Media-produced podcast, which would see Serra discuss topics ranging from American football to professional wrestling. The podcast would enter a hiatus following the season two finale in late-2019, only to be effectively cancelled upon Serra's departure from UZ Media, with the blanket entity retaining the rights to the name.
Serra still retains control of the former UnitardZ (now UnitardZ Network) YouTube channel, as well as it's subsequent Twitch Channel. Serra concluded the Holy Cross Crusaders Franchise Mode series in the summer of 2020, and stated in the series finale that he had yet to decide where he'd take the channel following the series' conclusion. Clips of his former The Hardy Complex podcast were uploaded to the channel in addition to Valiant Football League games. The channel now hosts replays of Valiant Football League games.
Though it is unclear if there are more than those listed, Serra has partial influence (all ranging different amounts) over multiple side projects. Pacer1 Serial Writings and Collections (often shortened to Pacer1), which produces written fiction. The UnitardZ Network YouTube and Twitch channels, which host Serra's various visual content. The Valiant Football League, which is a simulation football league operated since 2014. Letter To Yesterday, a musical project that has yet to release any content as of November 2020. ARC Wrestling, a wrestling promotion founded in 2019, which Serra has sold a large portion of to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling due to the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic.
Past projects Serra has been involved with have included The Wrestle Target, a wrestling news source that operated beneath the banner of UZ Media from 2017 until 2019. An assortment of video series including Let's Talk, Here's Why, the Holy Cross Crusaders Franchise Mode, Rage Quit, and UniCraft. The Lyricist Ghouls, a ghost-writing project for musicians and performers wanting to anonymously pay for ghost-written material. The intended launch of UZ: The Chronicles, a service of all stories produced beneath the UZ Media banner that never began operation, the service being similar to the intention behind Serra's distribution of content under his Pacer1 platform.
== Music ==
=== Hardyac (2013-2014) ===
In 2013, Serra got together with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling musicians to put together an EP. Hardyac would release a pop rock EP in early-2014, but Serra would leave the group soon after to focus fully on professional wrestling.
After a few years of inactivity, Serra confirmed the band's breakup in an interview in February of 2016, stating that his music taste had changed and he wanted something better suited.
=== Faint on Fifth Avenue (2016) === 
Serra would start looking for members to be a part of a new project, a rock band called, "Faint on Fifth Avenue." Serra started putting together material for an EP/album called "Feast of Midwinter", but the project was scrapped when he couldn't find the right pieces for the group.
=== Tallahassee Gas Mask/Seaside Parade (2016-2017) ===
Serra, along with Alix Kelly formed an alternative rock band in late-2016, and called it Tallahassee Gas Mask. Serra was originally lined up to be the lead vocalist and song writer for the band whilst also reserving a manager role as well. However; after the idea was thrown around of having a female lead vocalist help write and perform, he shifted to full time manager and song writing stations. Serra and Kelly were responsible for bringing in female lead singer Crystal, who became the lead vocalist for the band in January 2017. The idea was then thrown around to have multiple lead vocalists, so Serra once again resumed a vocalist station with Crystal and on part times Kelly as well. The band wrote their first original song called "Infection" in February of 2017, and Serra has stated that he had written a few as well. In March of 2017, Kelly and the remainder of members from the group left the idea astray, and Serra remained the only member left. He formally decided to let the group die, and took a formal hiatus for a few months, before returning to music in mid-2017.
=== Letter To Yesterday (2017-2022) ===
In mid-2017, Serra (along with former Tallahassee Gas Mask guitarist Alix Kelly) reformed and started a new rock project called Letter To Yesterday in which Kelly and Serra would reprise their roles from Tallahassee Gas Mask as guitarist and lead singer respectively. The group is currently nearing the completion stages, and currently putting together a few songs for their planned EP, entitled the "6284 EP." Serra has since released short snippets on his Instagram account of the band's upcoming songs, called "Champagne Lady" and "Millennia of Misery" separately. Serra has continued to be the primary songwriter, with Kelly continuing to be the primary instrumentalist, much was the case in the original Tallahassee Gas Mask/Seaside Parade groups. The group would also feature numbered performers, with Kelly being referred to as "1739 the Guitarist" and Serra being referred to as "2648 the Vocalist." In early May 2018, Serra and Kelly announced the cover art for the "6284 EP" and confirmed that the EP was slated to be released at the end of 2018, before the release date was pushed back to 2019. Letter To Yesterday played their first live shows on April 27 and May 1, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois during Serra's trip to Chicago for Call To Greatness XIV under the name "Othello A.D." In the spring of 2019, Serra would confirm the cancellation of the "6284 EP" citing unrealistic release goals as an influencing factor in addition to a busy work schedule. In the fall of 2019, Serra and the Letter To Yesterday social media accounts would launch two different promotion campaigns, with the first being #QueueTheRevolution, and the second being the addition of the term "F.R.E.A.K.S.H.O.W." into their biographies. On December 4, 2019, both Serra's personal and the Letter To Yesterday official social media accounts confirmed that the project would be releasing new material starting in 2020, only for that date to also be missed, no further announcements coming of any intended releases. 
In 2022, Serra announced that he was focusing his writing on projects with his writing brand Pacer1, and would not be writing or releasing music. When clarifying, he stated that whilst he was not putting music out and had no intention of making new music, he didn't rule out the possibility of that changing in the future. He has since gone on to describe Letter to Yesterday as being 'on hiatus.' Prior to the project's hiatus, Serra failed to release any music under the group's name. 
== UZ Media ==
=== The Launch of the UnitardZ brand and Balance of Power (August 2012-September 2013) ===
In June of 2012, Serra and UnitardZ co-founder Zachary Hoyt made plans to create a skit and gaming based YouTube channel, and started brainstorming names for the channel. Planned names included; Slush, Static TV and Unicorn Retarded. These names were flustered out when Serra brought up the name of "UnitardZZ" as in the clothing article "Unitard" and the "ZZ" at the end to signify the first name of both co-founders. The channel was launched in August of 2012, and Serra released a few videos within the first six months, all of which have been scrapped as there was no audio to them. 
=== Establishing UnitardZ (September 2013-December 2015) ===
After the creation of the YouTube channel, Serra would go on to release content to the public. His first mini-series was filmed over four weeks in October of 2013, which followed his run in a survival-moded Minecraft world, where he would try and make a stable living condition as quickly as possible. This series, called "UniCraft" was meant to be a sister project to "Minetardzz", which was originally planned to be run by Hoyt, but the idea was scrapped following Hoyt's departure from the channel.
After this, Serra would continue releasing content, with much of it being directed towards the professional wrestling industry. Many of his videos would consist of previews, reviews and predictions of weekly shows and pay per views. This would help establish an audience for the channel. By December of 2015, the channel was focusing so much on professional wrestling, that an estimated 92.4% of the channels videos for the entire year were based off the wrestling industry in some way.
=== Establishing UnitardZ Productions (January 2016-March 2017) ===
In 2016, Serra announced that along with the YouTube channel, any professional entity that he would oversee or create from then onwards, would become a part of "UnitardZ Productions." Whilst the YouTube channel would retain the name "UnitardZ", "UnitardZ Productions" would oversee any of Serra's professional ventures. For the remainder of the year, and a short part of 2017, Serra would build a following before branching out into other ventures.
=== UnitardZ Gaming, and other UnitardZ-banner plans (June-August 2016) ===
Serra originally planned to release separate channels for specific industries in early-2016 under the UnitardZ banner, for example, the sports industry would have a specific channel and site under the name, "UnitardZ Sports." Serra would implement this idea in June of 2016, launching "UnitardZ Gaming" alongside friend and competitive Smash player Brandon White. The channel would see semi-consistent uploads for the better part of the opening month before content came to a halt. Nothing was mentioned about the channel for a few weeks until Serra stated in a Q&A video that White had wanted to focus on his own content, to which Serra understood and allowed him to freely and quietly depart from the channel, leaving it in limbo. Serra has not mentioned much about the channel, though it is highly likely that the channel will remain inactive for the foreseeable future.
After the failure of the "UnitardZ Gaming" channel, Serra has made no mention of any other UnitardZ-banner channels, though it is highly unlikely that Serra would consider making any new UnitardZ-related channels.
=== The Wrestle Target (April 2017-September 2019) ===
In April of 2017, Serra unexpectedly opened up a Twitter account under the name, "The Wrestle Target." The purpose of the page was to report on wrestling news and updates, whilst also updating pay per view results and headlines from major professional wrestling shows. Later in the year, the page would receive it's own page on Serra's official website, in which it would post similar content to what their Twitter page was offering, but in greater detail. The site would also start making lists, and previewing professional wrestling pay per views, putting it in competition with other wrestling-media sites like "WhatCulture" and "Cultaholic." The page had been one of the biggest success' under the UnitardZ Productions name. With the program's success, it became one of the official sponsors of Serra's ARC Wrestling event BLOCKBUSTER! in June of 2019. Following the announcement of Serra's departure in July 2019, the fate of The Wrestle Target was unknown for close to two months until UZ Media confirmed that the program was being shut down at the end of September 2019.
== Pacer1 ==
=== 2021 Launch ===
Prior to Serra's official departure from UZ Media, he began writing content for a future writing project to be released upon his official leave. Upon being relieved of his duties by UZ Media as a part of the Coronavirus layoffs in 2020, Serra began the process of finalizing the rights to his upcoming project. In late 2021, an Instagram account, along with accounts on StoryFire and Wattpad were launched under the name "officialpacer1" and listed Serra as the main contributor. Further posts on the Instagram account suggested an announcement on December 4, 2020.
On December 4, 2020, multiple posts announced a slate of series to be released episodically in 2021 under the banner of Pacer1. Serra reposted on of the posts to his own Instagram accounts, and confirmed his involvement in the project. Amongst announcements confirming the return of his former main series Rise, Serra and the project announced a spin-off to the original, RISE and REVOLT. In addition, the project announced two other series, Dire and Joshua Lane, all to be released throughout 2021. Adding to the announcements of the series, Pacer1 confirmed their series to be released on digital platforms StoryFire and Wattpad, as well as a project-specific website to be launched on January 1, 2021. On December 12, 2020, Pacer1 would walk back their intention on releasing content over StoryFire, effectively ending their association with the platform. Shortly after this decision, however, Pacer1 and StoryFire would collectively resolve the issues, and Pacer1 would reengage the release of their content on the platform, starting with Dire on January 10, 2021.
On March 31, 2021, Serra announced via his personal StoryFire account that he was in the midst of writing additional seasons of new and pre-existing series for Pacer1 that would be released in 2023, confirming that every episode set to be released for the platform in 2022 had already been written.
== Personal Life ==
Serra is an avid fan of the National Football League team, San Francisco 49ers. Though he has stated his support for the National Hockey League team Vegas Golden Knights, Serra follows most Toronto-based sports clubs. This includes the Toronto Maple Leafs due to his wife support of the team. The couple attended the CFL's Toronto Argonauts Eastern Finals game in 2022 against the Montreal Alouettes as fans of the Argonauts. Since 2022, Serra is also an avid supporter of the Australian Football League's Gold Coast Suns.
Beginning in 2018, Serra started dating fellow USW wrestler Taylor Hensen, best known under her ring name of Taylor Hardy. After briefly dating and separating multiple times, the pair married in June 2020. Together, the couple has multiple residencies in Canada. As of 2022, the couple have yet to obtain permanent residency in Canada, but commonly reside in it.
