10. Jon Snow

Jon Snow was the person most fans thought would kill the Night King. This was his story, after all. Surely he'd be the one to lead the world out of the darkness.

That honour instead went to Arya, but could that then lead to a flipping of expected roles? Since few have really considered Jon as being the person to kill Cersei, they might pull another fast one and have him be the one to do it. Revealing her as the true threat to be destroyed to fulfil the prophecy, or perhaps more simply because it is what's right: Jon has shown that he'll execute when it's what must be done. If Cersei is brought down and charged for her crimes, he'd do it again.

Still, their characters haven't had too much to do with each other, really. It's one thing having Arya kill the Night King as a surprise, but Cersei is a character who's had vastly more screentime and much more depth, so her death should probably fall to someone who knows her a little better.
