I can understand Thurman, as a former champion getting a shot at the title again. I wouldn't understand Barrios getting a shot ahead of Ennis and Ortiz Jr.

Just one man stands between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and his first world title shot, but he’ll have to earn it. Neil Marsh, who manages reigning European welterweight champion David Avanesyan, claims that the WBC have ordered Ortiz to face his charge in a final eliminator.
The two sit at #1 and #3, respectively, in the rankings. Mikey Garcia’s technically in second but they seem to have skipped him for obvious reasons.
The order is one of many that have emerged from the sanctioning body’s ongoing convention, including Jaime Munguia vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu.

Vergil Ortiz To Return January 22; WBC-Ordered Title Eliminator With David Avanesyan To Follow
Gomez confirmed that Golden Boy is in advanced talks with the opponent to be named once a deal is reach. The development came about as a motion was made for Ortiz (18-0, 18KOs) to next face streaking contender David Avanesyan (28-3-1, 16KOs) in a final eliminator to determine the WBC mandatory challenger for Errol Spence (27-0, 21KOs), who holds the WBC and IBF welterweight titles.
The motion—made by Neil Marsh, Avanesyan’s manager—was unanimously approved, contingent upon Ortiz emerging victorious on January 22.

Ava's team requested it, WBC approved it! If Ortiz wins, he can choose Crawford for the WBO, or he can fight Avanesyan in a final eliminator. I assume now that Thurman is in the mix, if Ortiz does not fight Avanesyan, then Thurman will have to fight him.

That's not on the WBC though. Spence, Thurman can be made without their intervention. And if it wasn't Thurman it'd be another PBC fighter. Your right, that fight will never happen. Unless Crawford signs a PBC contract.
