The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Things That Will (Probably) Happen Next

9. Rick Gets A Win

Rick is on the road to recovery. He's got his mojo back, he's leading the troops once again, and he's ready to go at the Saviours and Negan when the time is right.

This is all building towards a major war, but it seems unlikely we won't get a couple of smaller skirmishes with the Saviours along the way.

The Alexandrians could really do with a win right now. For all they've started getting their groove back, they're still largely beholden to the Saviours, and haven't had a real victory since taking out one outpost back in Season 6.

Rick will need to prove, to Alexandrians, other communities, and himself, that they can indeed succeed in fighting back, and that means overcoming the Saviours in a smaller battle first.
