WWE WrestleMania XXV saw two brothers square off on the grandest stage of them all. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy was out for revenge after it was revealed his brother Matt Hardy had been attempting to sabotage his younger sibling's WWE career.

Facing off in an Extreme Rules match, Matt Hardy was able to shockingly defeat his younger brother at WrestleMania XXV and seemingly step out of Jeff Hardy's shadow.

The brothers' rivalry continued heading into Backlash 2009 where they faced off once more. However, the stakes were raised from their WrestleMania XXV encounter, with The Hardy brothers squaring off in an "I Quit" match.

In the closing moments of the match, Jeff Hardy tied his brother to a table, meaning that Matt Hardy was unable to move. As the Charismatic Enigma ascended a nearby ladder with the intention to dive onto his brother, Matt Hardy begged for forgiveness and declared "I Quit."

However, Matt's quitting was not enough to satisfy the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, as Jeff Hardy hit a devastating legdrop off the ladder, crashing through his brother and the wooden table. The move was in-fact so devastating that it legitimately broke Matt Hardy's hand.
