Meanwhile, Stephanie McMahon has said she would like to see a popular star return to WWE somewhere down the road. It's no secret that there has been a list of banned terms in WWE for quite some time, and R-Truth recently highlighted Vince McMahon's mindset behind one such word.
Without further ado, let's dive deeper into these news and rumor stories.
#5. Jeff Hardy was legitimately upset after his WWE WrestleMania 25 match against Matt Hardy
At WrestleMania 25, The Hardy Boyz fought each other in an Extreme Rules match that lasted around 13 minutes.
Speaking on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show, The Charismatic Enigma highlighted his frustration over the lack of time given to their bout back then. Jeff admitted he threw "stuff" around backstage following the match and even spoke with WWE CEO Vince McMahon about the issue.
“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," said Jeff Hardy.

@arielhelwani made sure to read some beautiful words from Jeff's brother Matt and we got his reaction...
"I've got to call him and say 'I love you brother.'"

Their WrestleMania 25 match ended with Matt Hardy emerging victorious. However, the brother vs. brother feud concluded with Jeff coming out on top several days later in an 'I Quit' match.
Compared to the Extreme Rules bout at WrestleMania in 2009, their 'I Quit' contest lasted relatively longer (19 minutes).
