You know, that's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. I think it would do more to hurt Jericho for a big name to eliminate him (if he's not winning the match). It makes Jericho appear "silver medal" quality, as opposed to him being dumped out due to arrogance or freak error in a moment that "should not have happened."

If they're going with a darker Jericho (eventually), then this could be the trigger to get him there, too. Jericho's constantly put younger guys over (JTG, Heath Slater and Evan Bourne all come to mind), and if he got dumped out by a Zack Ryder or Kofi Kingston, it would be huge for them.
