Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks for the RAW women&#8217;s championship. Also, Jeff Hardy won a 15-man battle royal to become the #1 contender to the Intercontinental championship. John Cena and Roman Reigns talked a lot of trash and then signed a contract to face each other at the next RAW pay-per-view. Announcer Booker T, who lives in Houston, was unable to travel to Memphis due to Harvey, but that was OK, the WWE found a suitable replacement&#8230; none other than The King himself. <a href=\"https:\/\/411mania.com\/wrestling\/411s-wwe-raw-report-8-28-17\/\">Complete results here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All classes at Downtown Yoga this Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYYYrx5HDBJ\/\">will be free with a donation Hurricane Harvey relief<\/a>.
