While there remains the possibility of Chris Jericho debuting with TNA, WWE officials have absolutely no fear that he will do so, reports PWTorch.com and, even if he did, WWE does not believe his presence alone could help make TNA a serious competitor. Upon embarking on his hiatus, Jericho made it clear to Vince McMahon that he had no intentions of signing with TNA. Thus, if Jericho were to go back on his word, he would burn a serious bridge with WWE and risk having the door closed on a possible return (at least in terms of being a main-event performer). Because Jericho cannot be sure TNA will be a stable, long-term alternative job source, the negatives seem to outweigh the positives for the gamble that is TNA.With that in mind, it's not as if Jericho has given TNA a great deal of consideration. While the possibility is always open, the wrestler has not expressed anything that could be perceived as a desire to join the compan. But, what if he does? In that case, WWE officials are still not worried, as they do not believe a promotion can be built around Chris Jericho. WWE is very high on Jericho, but the feeling is that he's not nearly big enough a star to single-handedly take a promotion to war with WWE. Obviously, WWE would be upset to lose one of its top performers, but just as Chris Jericho won't be the shot in the arm TNA needs to seriously compete, his absence from WWE would hardly drive it into the ground.

Why would Jericho ever go to TNA though? The man is not that stupid. I think me and you both know he knows WWE will pay him more money to be a jobber than TNA would for him to become the next TNA NWA champion.Jericho is not leaving WWE, guaranteed.
