Much like Ezekiel, Gregory is also refusing to join the fight against the Saviours, except he gets shouted at and threatened for doing so while Ezekiel is quietly respected. The power of being royalty, I guess.

Also like Ezekiel, it's tough to imagine Gregory being able to maintain that stance permanently, for one reason or another.

One possibility is that he eventually cracks, and decides to join the group in the fight against Negan (or at least take himself out of the equation and not stand in their way). It doesn't entirely fit with his character, but there's only so much pressure a guy can take, especially one like Gregory.

The other, more likely alternative is that he continues to be his stubborn self, and ends up being taken out. Gregory seems like a man marked for death, and it'd allow Maggie to takeover at Hilltop, and the community to fully join the battle.
