10 Holy Grail WWE Dark Matches You Wish You Could've Seen
9. The Colóns vs The Miz & John Morrison - WrestleMania 25
With the advent of the pre-show, dark matches at WrestleMania have become something of a thing of the past.
They used to happen all the time back in the day, including at WrestleMania 25. The live crowd in Houston got to witness a tag match between Carlito and Primo (The Colóns) and John Morrison and The Miz, which doesn't sound like much on paper, but the stakes were phenomenal.
Up till this point, WWE had two sets of tag titles - the World Tag Team Championships and the WWE Tag Team Championships. However, in 2009, they got bored of having to keep tabs on four different belts, so this match was made to unify them.
The Colóns (WWE) eventually outfoxed their opponents (World) when Primo hit a backstabber on Morrison to score the pin. Just like that, the company had one set of tag titles for the first time since 2002 and it would stay that way until 2016.
It makes no sense why WWE decided that this should be the dark match over the likes of the Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal, but at least those in attendance got to witness some history.
