I'm thinking about other wwe matches I think technically were lights out matches. Gargano vs Ciampa I think they called it unsactioned but I remember them turning off the lights before it. The only other one that comes to mind was bray "fiend" wyatt vs Seth Rollins hell in a cell it was in red light but I don't think that counts. (Hate that match BTW worst hitc match ever....)

Here's the Cagematch rating for WEW: https://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=1489 it's not good at all!

Important context for the $2.5 million price tag for WCW: What isn’t often included in the sale price is the fact that WWE took on all liabilities that WCW still had on its books, which included guaranteed salaries for a number of talents (Hogan, Sting, Hart, Goldberg, Hall, and Nash being the most prominent) and debts owed to vendors, distributors, etc. Basically, WWE paid $2.5 million to take on like $40-$60 million in liabilities, so it was far more expensive than the reporting tends to suggest.
