ProWrestling.net is reporting that Vince McMahon was irate backstage at Raw this week after his name was mentioned by Alberto Del Rio on the air.
As we first reported over the weekend, the current plan is to have Vince McMahon return to TV in the very near future, and the assumption is that Vince was upset because he didn't want his name mentioned on the air.
It's being said that both Del Rio and the writer of the segment were both yelled at by McMahon backstage, and that McMahon's mood was horrible for the rest of the night. Even Stephanie McMahon made an attempt to calm him down, but it was apparently to no avail, as Vince was making life pretty miserable for everyone at Raw following the on-air mention of his name.

Matt Hardy's Girlfirend Claims She Didn't Alert the Police
Matt Hardy's girlfriend is adamant ... she didn't drop the dime on her BF last week -- telling TMZ, the only reason she blabbed to cops was because they intimidated and threatened her.
25-year-old Reby Sky tells us, after Matt was rushed to the hospital for an adverse drug reaction, cops took her to the police station and questioned her about the incident.
Apparently Reby gave cops enough info for a search warrant, because when she returned home, the cops were there in force, having just ransacked the joint. She says that's when they threatened her with jail if she didn't answer even more questions.
Reby tells us, she would have kept her mouth shut at the station if she knew police were accumulating evidence for the warrant -- adding, she "would never do anything to put [Matt] in a compromising position with the law."

More Details on Matt Hardy's Drug Bust; His Girlfriend Turrned Him In
As previous reported, a week after he was arrested for DUI, Matt Hardy was thrown back in the slammer (his third time in jail in a month) and the search warrant makes it clear... Matt has a major drug problem.
According to search warrant docs obtained by TMZ, it all started with a 911 call last Wednesday -- placed by Matt's model girlfriend, Reby Sky, who was worried Matt "was strung out on pills and needed help." Police came and Matt's GF led them to a secret safe containing several prescription painkillers. Police then obtained a search warrant and according to cops, when they raided his house they found 20 vials of anabolic steroids and some ecstasy.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Matt wasn't home at the time of the search so they couldn't arrest him on the spot ... he turned himself in yesterday and bailed out soon after his arrest.
