The Walking Dead Season 7 Finale: 10 Things That Should Happen

4. Shiva In Action

Ahead of this new season, Ezekiel was the most hyped new character, and with good reason. Not only is he a self-styled King with a tendency towards the theatrical, and an important figure from the comics, but he has a pet tiger. Yeah, it was mostly the tiger to be honest.

However, while Shiva has appeared in a few scenes across the season, she hasn't done anything of note apart from the occasional growl. That's something the season finale has a chance to change.

The promo shows Shiva by Ezekiel's side as he marches into war, and it'd be an incredibly fan-pleasing moment to let her off the leash and kill at least a couple of bad guys. The show has had some embarrassing CGI wobbles this year (the deer, Rick atop the junkyard) but Shiva has generally been solid, and they must have enough in the finale budget to give us the tiger moment we've been waiting for all season.
