Calling something a final eliminator suggests you'd become mandatory upon winning it. In fact the WBC told their number one ranked silver champion that after fighting the guy who had just lost his title shot he'd then become 'second mandatory' after Dominic Breazeale, the lower ranked fighter who fought the even lower ranked Molina to become mandatory. Given Wilder is required to fight mandatory once every 3 years, coincidentally the amount of time the gypsy king spent out of the ring on beak and alcohol, who knows when his turn would arrive?
Course the WBC is very flexible when it wants to be. Like it's odd decision a couple of months ago to catapult Tyson Fury back into the top 10 heavyweight rankings after his legendary performance against the second best cruiserweight in Albania. By massive coincidence Fury is now lined up to fight Wilder and Deontay can once again avoid facing a top ranked boxer in prime condition.
