When The Walking Dead ended their season finale in the Spring, they left the episode on a huge cliffhanger. Who had Negan killed?

With a large group of people to choose from and a gory death coming in the Fall premier, fans took to social media in droves to speculate about who Negan and Lucille had taken out. When the premier finally came in October, millions of viewers watched as Negan took his rage out on Abraham just a few minutes into the episode.

With many fans relieved that Daryl and others were spared, that relief quickly turned into horror as Negan revealed that he was not finished smashing heads after taking an unexpected punch.

In a move that no one saw coming (even though it happened in the comics), Negan turned around and struck Glenn in the head. After some painful last words, Negan proceeded to finish the job and turned Glenn’s skull into mush.

During the after-show (The Talking Dead), and in the following days, video clips were seen online of fans jumping out of their seats and screaming. Some cried, some sat shocked, while others simply lost their minds. In a time where popular characters are killed off regularly, Glenn’s surprising end was met with the most emotion and pure shock from viewers around the world.
