The match is called off due to the interruption and Nakamura attacks AJ a couple more times before exiting the ring.

...
Carmella shows up backstage for an interview about her victory. She says the Queen overstayed her welcome and she, the 'princess' was there to take it from her. She gets emotional for a second but it was clearly a ruse as she thanks herself for the win. She also disregards the Iconic Duo's help in the matter.
