At WrestleMania 25, Matt and Jeff Hardy faced off in an Extreme Rules match. Even though they competed for over 13 minutes, Jeff Hardy was furious about the lack of time he received in the ring.
After the contest, Jeff threw items around backstage and vented his frustrations to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Speaking on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions, Jeff recalled how he felt like the two deserved more time to put on an even better contest:
"Me and Vince did have a conversation after that. I think he kind of liked that he saw how mad I was, because I was like throwing stuff. 'I can’t believe we didn’t get to do that stuff we wanted to do.' We did plenty, more than enough, but it was still… The passion within me really ignited that night after the match. I was really upset."
