Game Of Thrones: 5 Fan Theories Confirmed By Season 6 (And 5 That Were Bullsh*t)

Bullsh*t...

5. CleganeBowl (For Now)

Gregor and Sandor Clegane

Cersei wanted a trial by combat. They weren't even attempting to hide the fact that her new bodyguard was Gregor Clegane. The Hound returned, and went back to his killing ways.

Cleganebowl was finally gonna happen. Hype was being got all over the internet. This was it.

And then trials by combat were abolished, Sandor Clegane headed North with the Brotherhood, and the hype was instantly deflated,

The idea that the Clegane brothers would both be brought back from the dead, and come together to fight to the death in a trial by combat - with Sandor for the Faith, and Gregor for Cersei - has long been a favourite of Thrones fans, and it really seemed like it was about to happen. The show may still find some way of doing it, but with the two characters so far apart, it seems less likely. The books, meanwhile, could definitely still do it, we're just gonna have to wait a while to find out.
