...
After the match, The Miz and The Miztourage come out and assault Jordan before laying the beatdown on Roman Reigns, hitting two skull-crushing finales to end the show.
...
The referee didn't see Jordan tag in and thus his legit tag was illegal. A Magic killer was hit on Rollins and Roman and Jordan had a tense moment.  Outside the ring, Gallows & Anderson got punched and speared by Roman Reigns. Inside the ring, Jordan tried to help Rollins up but instead moved when Balor hit a running dropkick. 

Balor used this to his advantage and hit the coup-de-grace. Jordan cost his team the victory!
