it still stays intact, you have to look at the way the vertebral column is constructed, at the ventral side of the vertebral column, the disc is fused at the front, but at the back of those disc, are other attachments of back bones joined/fused with other back bone from each section, thus, which means that adamantium will still be present in wolverine's back bone holding his body together even if it gets to his disc, which i doubt because the adamantium in his joints are closely fused, hardly any space, yet, he his still as flexible as any gymnist, due to high tensile strength in his joint, that is why he has enhanced his strength from peak human to superhuman, that is why his head did not come off when he was smashed by hulk, knocked by a car, sliced by a sword at the back of the head without his head coming off, anyway, wolverine will still wins, he is just way too experienced in fighting people like predator, actually if Danny glover and Arnold Schwarzenegger can kill predator, with just ordinary weapons, expect the worse from a mutant with a temper and razor-sharp claws.
You fail to realize that these are weapons that slice through Xenomorph carapace like butter. Xenomorphs shrug off everything short of uranium depleted shells. The blade will cut his skin and flesh like woah, and easily find its way through the join, even if it has to skitter along the bone to do so.
