The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Reasons Glenn Must Be Killed By Negan

Replay that entire end scene in your head. It's a savage situation of enormous importance, where Negan presents himself to the group, to the fans, to the show. He bludgeons a bit hitter to death and fans are forced to wait seemingly endless months for the resolution.

Now skip forward to the Season 7 Premiere. How would you feel if Eugene, Rosita or Sasha took the bat? After the initial excitement at seeing one of three dull characters finished off, you'd realise the scale of the anti-climax. It would be disappointing if Glenn WASN'T killed off after all of the fuss made.

With Rick all-but guaranteed safe passage, it leaves Daryl and Glenn as the only two characters with a great enough stature to justify the wait. Daryl is the crown-jewel of the TV show as he was solely created for the screen, so it's highly doubtful he'd go. Anybody but Glenn wouldn't feel right, the drama of the death wouldn't feel satisfactory.
