There are so many theories still evolving since The Walking Dead’s season finale. A new theory from YouTube user slaykone supposedly answers the big question “Who killed Negan ?“. This time, the sequence of Negan’s Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Mo game is explored and slaykone claims that it is Glenn who is killed . But then a second video from slaykone claims that it’s our favorite crossbow carrying redneck, Daryl, who is at the receiving end of Negan’s wrath. Watch the video and decide for yourself. If you still aren’t sold, take a moment and look at all the evidence we’ve gathered. Fans are still mad about the cliffhanger ending to this season, in fact there are several petitions circulating that not only call for an extra episode revealing the victim, but also for Scott Gimple to be fired, which isn’t right, in my opinion. It’s common knowledge that Glenn dies in the comics, but I guess we’ll just have to wait until October
