Fans of the hit American horror drama series "The Walking Dead" were left in a state of shock and bewilderment when the show's sixth season ended in a horrifying cliffhanger.

This cliffhanger involves the show's newest bad guy, Negan (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan), brutally murdering one of the show's characters using his baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

Now, avid viewers of "The Walking Dead" are eager to see what is going to happen to Negan and the rest of the show's characters when the seventh season of the TV series returns.

According to Nerdist.com, Negan's victim can be narrowed down to two characters who have appeared in "The Walking Dead" for quite some time now: Glenn or Abraham.

The speculation of Glenn's death is all the more fueled by the fact that the actor that portrays this character, Steven Yeun, has reportedly been included in the new Netflix film entitled "Okja." The movie is reportedly being shot in South Korea, which is miles away from Atlanta, Georgia—where "The Walking Dead" is being shot.

Meanwhile, some "The Walking Dead" fans are speculating that Abraham is Negan's victim after the actor that plays him, Michael Cudlitz, reportedly tweeted a fellow actor from the show, Josh McDermitt (who plays nerdy Eugene) with this statement: "I had a blast working with you..."

Since the tweet is in the past tense, some viewers think it was Cudlitz's character who became the unfortunate victim of Negan's violence.

An article on Movie News Guide meanwhile reported that Negan may form an unlikely bond with Carl, the teenage son of "The Walking Dead" main protagonist Rick Grimes.

This development is in line with the comic book portrayal of Negan, who supposedly turns Carl into the dark side and trains him on how to survive the zombie apocalypse more and on how to fight despite having only one eye.
