What does Eliminator mean in this context? Does it mean that if Blue and Marshall/Comoroto lose, they can’t challenge for the titles while the current champions remain champion?

It means the non-champions get a title shot if they win.

My understanding is that the terminology comes from boxing and/or MMA. But it's confusing in wrestling when "Elimination" match is a thing.

Because of how wrestling works, to me, it should really mean "If they lose, they are literally eliminated, as in ineligible for a shot ever as long as the current champion holds the title".

Otherwise, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Dark Order vs. HFO being a world title feud is an actual nightmare scenario please do not

Were these matches taped on Saturday before BOTB?

...I'd be more into it if the stipulation was "If HFO wins, Serpentico gets a title shot".

Yes. I think there's still some Universal stuff in the bank, which we maybe see next week unless I'm forgetting a Dark taping?

I think it's to also avoid saying "Number One Contender's match" because of their ranking system. If you win an eliminator match, you get to jump to the front of the line, but don't knock out anyone of contention.

There's no more Universal in the bank, thus the tapings this Saturday.

Then there's the fact there's a live Rampage next Friday.

Thanks, this prompted me to figure out what I was thinking of: they have some Elevation in the bank from the recent Daily's Place Tuesday taping.

That's an interesting way of spelling Dr. Luther but I'm for it. Hangman's due for surgery.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Kingston vs Janela has potential to be a sleeper banger here tbh.

[chrom]

This is Hangman's debut on Dark

THE MAN WHO BEAT MJF ALL BY HIMSELF!!

[chrom]

That clearly is Guile's theme

Dean was suppose to have an angle starting with The Factory but it also got scrapped

Top Rope Splash and he wins it
