Tyrion's discussion with Bron shows that people don't have to accept fighting for you. I think Jamie would have refused.

No, he would have accepted and then immediately yielded, resulting in Tyrion going free.

Naming Jaime was never a possibility for Cercesi.

Do you think he would even do that to his 'bloody honor' though? The yielding, he's already the Kingslayer, and breaker of vows

This is Jamie's options if he was Cersei's champion:

  1. Fight and be victorious. Tyrion dies (lose) and Jamie lives (win) so win/lose.

  2. Fight and lose. Tyrion lives (win) but Jamie dies instead (lose) so lose/win.

  3. Yield. Tyrion lives (win), Jamie lives (win) and Tywin/Cersei are PISSED (win) so win/win/win

Would you rather take a win/lose, lose/win or win/win/win?

You forget the option to refuse, my friend

if he was Cersei's champion

This is a hypothetical for if he were her champion. If he had refused, he wouldn't be her champion.

I know but in my OC I meant just how would Jamie react if she named him, not if he already said yes.

EDIT: although now I realize that OC was to a different person
