However, another outlet claimed that this wasn’t part of the plan and things got a little awry in the middle of the match before the end.

In the middle of the match when Jax missed the body drop attack allowing The Queen to land a big boot on the face of Jax. This was hit for real as we saw Jax holding his mouth before literally getting an adrenaline dump and then it was an all-out brawl between the two as things got real ugly.
