Jeff Hardy is leaving the WWE for the time being because he is "burned out," several sources say. His contract has expired, and Jeff, who turns 32 on Monday, decided to take some time off, and the WWE has said they will welcome him back whenever he's ready to return. It's possible this is all for show (we've been fooled before), but this one appears to be for real.

"When the time is right, I'll see you all again," Jeff said after losing in the Steal Cage Match.

Interestingly, another star is leaving for 30 days thanks to a violation of the Wellness Policy-- Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio! According to WWE.com, the suspension will be effective Sept. 2-- I guess this is so they can get that belt off his waist and hand it off to Dolph Ziggler.

It is a good thing Taker is coming back next week to distract us...
