WWE will resume running dark match main events for TV taping live crowds in a few weeks. The dark matches have been stopped for now while the company works out the new Backstage Pass post-shows after RAW and SmackDown.
When the dark matches return, they will likely not be shown on the Backstage Pass, as the show will be shot entirely backstage and the ring area will not be seen.
