The Unified WWE Tag Team Championship match wasn't even part of an official Kickoff themed show. #1-wwf-fan drew a good parallel between it and the Sunday Night Heat that would air from the same location as the PPV.
Just two observations about the ongoing "is Miz undefeated/Colons tag match" debate and if or not it counts as being at 'Mania...

1) In terms of actual presence: Lance Storm said he wanted to have a Wrestlemania moment, and mentioned that he "never got one" because his matches were bumped. Twice. If I remember correctly, one became pre-show fodder, and the other ended up as a dark match. Essentially, he was never technically in a Wrestlemania match in spite of being booked for it and wrestling at the event.

2) In terms of WWE logic: Jericho never beat HHH that one time ON RAW. Even though it took up a substantial amount of TV time, the match never happened. If that match never happened, and it was pretty much a televised main event on their flagship televison program, then what does that say about a match they didn't even bother airing on "free" TV before their PPV?
