Skeletor questioned Damien Skull’s loyalty in Boston. Skull defended his right to pursue the Global Championship, and the pair left together. They remain members of Final Dominion. Their announced Triple Threat with Soul is set for November 1 at Hail to the King.

does keeping a championship inside the faction matter more to Skeletor than keeping it himself? Boston gave Skull room to argue that membership and personal ambition can coexist. It did not resolve how that works once both men can win the same title.

One possible reading is that Final Dominion’s alliance could become a tactical negotiation in London: cooperate against Soul, then settle the championship between themselves. Another is that competing priorities would give Soul an opening before either ally expects it.
