The Walking Dead season 7 premieres on October 23, but the fandom is still split on who Negan will kill! Vote in our poll on which character you think is a goner.
There’s no arguing that the single most anticipated moment in The Walking Dead season 7 premiere is the reveal of who Negan chose as his victim. Exactly who that will be is up to much debate, with fans gathering as much evidence as they can find.
Let’s examine the possibilities:
Glenn
Glenn seems to be everyone’s obvious choice for the victim. In the comic, Negan kills Glenn to prove his point to Rick, but as we know the television show doesn’t always follow along with the comics. Many fans believe that Glenn’s fake out death in season 6 means that he won’t be killed in season 7. While others believe that since actor Steven Yeun has other projects lined up, his schedule might be freed up from The Walking Dead.
Most recently, fans have also pointed out that the pocket watch Glenn was given by Hershel might be broken into pieces in a recent sneak peek released. Other fans think that item in the sneak peek is something else.
Maggie
As Glenn’s wife, some fans speculate that if Glenn doesn’t die it might be a fair trade off for Maggie to die. Since Maggie has been around since season 2 and is a major character it would have just as much impact, if not more, if she died. There’s also been the tease by the cast and creators that more than one character may be dying, and since Maggie is pregnant some fans are wondering if her death and the child will be killed at once.
Remember the item we mentioned that some believed to be the watch that belonged to Glenn? Well others think it might be Maggie’s engagement ring from Glenn. It’s hard to tell if it’s really either one, or something totally different. It’s also thought that the victim was sitting to the right of Rick, as that’s the side of his face which has blood on it after the victim is killed. Maggie happened to be sitting next to Rick, on his right side in The Walking Dead season 6 finale.
Abraham
Another strong contender for the victim is Abraham. He sat next to Maggie in the lineup, so he is also on the right side of Rick. He’s still close enough to Rick that his blood could spatter on him. Although Abraham hasn’t been around as long as some other characters, he is definitely a fan favorite and his death would be a major blow.
Fans may also remember that in the season 6 finale, Negan took his first swing at the victim and said that they’re taking it like a champ. If anyone would take a beating and still try to stand tall, it’s Abraham. Other fans are theorizing that it’s possible Abraham and Glenn are both killed by Negan.
Daryl
Whenever Daryl is in danger, his fans go into mass hysteria. There are people that are convinced Daryl will be the one killed by Negan. Since he’s an original character to the show, we have nothing to compare his death to in the comics. His character would definitely qualify as a fan favorite and would have a huge impact if he was killed.
It seems that it’s more panic than reality that it will be Daryl. However, I wouldn’t rule it out completely. What is concerning is the blanket Daryl had wrapped around him in The Walking Dead season 6 finale is spotted near the remains of Negan’s victim in the sneak peek previously mentioned.
Rosita and Michonne
There doesn’t seem to be any indication that either of these women will be killed by Negan. However, they were on the right side of Rick in the lineup so they shouldn’t be ruled out either. Michonne is more of a fan favorite than Rosita, so out of the two of them she’d be more likely to have the affect the show runners were looking for in a death.
Sasha, Aaron, Carl, Eugene
All of these characters were on the left side of Rick in the lineup, so we’re pretty sure they’re safe.
