The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Major Predictions 

2. Negan Won't Have It All His Own Way

We're living in Negan's world now, which means Jeffrey Dean Morgan's certified badass is gonna be the guy in control. He'll have the Saviours compound and his own team, as well as taking a cut from Alexandria and Hilltop and ruling both by fear.

While Negan will be the man in charge, it's unreasonable to think he's gonna have it all his own way throughout Season 7.

Rick might be broken for a few episodes, but to just lie down and let the hits keep on coming isn't the way his group operates, no matter what's happened. Maybe it'll be that way for a few weeks, but they are going to hit back, and hard. Among the casualties, look for a few Saviours to die, and the conflict between the groups escalate across the season.

Negan's the most powerful guy around, and it's a position he'll still hold come the finale, but Rick and co won't be doormats all season. Which leads us to the next entry, which draws on events directly from the comics, and thus is a spoiler (if they go down this route anyway, which is a must).
