When [_The Walking Dead_](http://time.com/4527342/walking-dead-producer-gale-anne-hurd-killing-off-characters/)returns for its seventh season Sunday, viewers will finally get to see [who Negan picked to die](http://time.com/4503448/the-walking-dead-negan-kill-poll/) during his sadistic game of Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe in the closing moments of the season six finale.

The opening scene of the premiere will supposedly show the Saviors leader beating one of the captive Alexandrians to death with the barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat he has dubbed Lucille, concluding a bloody cliffhanger sequence that Andrew Lincoln — who plays [Rick Grimes](http://time.com/4525059/walking-dead-rick-grimes-negan-season-7-premiere-sneak-peak/) — said made him “[physically sick](http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/walking-dead-carl-shot-jessie-dead-recap-season-6-episode-9-1201706228/).”

However, despite fans’ best attempts to figure out who is on the chopping block, the victim’s identity is still largely a mystery. Here are the survival odds of the 11 characters that were at Negan’s mercy.

### Aaron

**Likelihood of death:** 0%

Aaron is fine, but he’s not even close to being important enough to be knocked off by Negan.

### Rosita Espinosa

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6c95b34f5d497522/6988a73e0a4a2266c39cb625/rosita-espinosa.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 2%

Just like Aaron, Rosita can almost certainly rest easy knowing she’s not popular enough to be the star of this scene.

### Sasha Williams

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbf38362e94a390d2/6988a73e5f570fb940b229e6/sasha-williams.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 3%

Sasha has grown on fans since the character was introduced in season three, but with this being the show’s biggest cliffhanger to date, it’s hard to imagine her death will be the conclusion.

### Eugene Porter

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt39aa79d6b59a2465/6988a73f524fc0818fdf9960/eugene-porter.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 5%

Eugene finally displayed some courage in the season six finale when he volunteered to [drive the RV solo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk8hT-TVU4k) to lead the Saviors on a wild goose chase. The plan didn’t quite work out as expected, but the moment brought his character full circle, which would have made him a prime target to be taken out in any normal _TWD_ episode. However, this is no normal episode.

### Carl Grimes

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb4446e387aa2e0b5/6988a73bbc6cfc14d03deade/carl-grimes.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 0%

Negan prefaced his attack by issuing the threat, “Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy’s other eye out and feed it to his father” — a seemingly clear indication that the one-eyed Carl wasn’t going to be the one on the receiving end of Lucille.


### Rick Grimes

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt46a4a7f3695e0a10/6988a73b5f570f139bb229e1/rick-grimes.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 0%

AMC has already released a [clip](http://time.com/4525059/walking-dead-rick-grimes-negan-season-7-premiere-sneak-peak/) showing that Rick is not the recipient of Negan’s beatdown. Also, he’s Rick Grimes.

### Abraham Ford

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcc985b0f34ccdf1d/6988a73d428a9ee9ddcd45d2/screen-shot-2016-09-21-at-4-40-38-pm.png?branch=production&width=1080&quality=75&auto=webp)

Gene Page/AMC

**Likelihood of death:** 10%

Although his demise might not have the same emotional impact for viewers, Abraham was definitely a viable option thanks to his swift rise to the status of fan favorite and the fact that he’s already dead in the comic book. But that was before Michael Cudlitz — who plays good ol’ Abe — all but confirmed he is still alive during an interview with [Popsugar](http://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Michael-Cudlitz-Interview-About-Walking-Dead-August-2016-42282485). While commenting on Denise’s season six arrow-through-the-eye death — the manner in which Abraham dies in the comics — Cudlitz hinted that Abraham and Negan would meet again. “Her death spurs on a whole bunch of other stuff, and then the audience knows that Abraham will continue for a while now,” he said. “Now we get to see what a world with Negan and Abraham both in it will be like.”


### Michonne

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd9daf2d7da7df293/6988a73ccf40a815ebc44ec9/michonne.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Likelihood of death:** 5%

There’s just no way it will be Michonne. End of story.

### Daryl Dixon

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfcc98cbf330caf45/6988a73be20a87d58aa92850/daryl-dixon.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon - The Walking Dead \_ Season 6, Episode 14 - Photo Credit: Gene Page/AMC Gene Page/AMC

**Likelihood of death:** 15%

Throughout the hiatus, AMC has been dropping hints that the crossbow-wielding Dixon is the one to die. First with a [clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOh2YcMkBQ4) of Saviors member Dwight wearing Daryl’s leather vest while riding his motorcycle, and then with a [sneak peak](http://time.com/4525059/walking-dead-rick-grimes-negan-season-7-premiere-sneak-peak/) of the scene immediately following the kill showing his blanket from the finale lying on the ground in front of a puddle of bloody carnage. However, judging by the show’s spoiler lockdown, this seems to significantly increase his chances of surviving. Not to mention that [if Daryl dies, the fans will riot](https://www.facebook.com/IfDarylDiesWeRiot/).


### Maggie Greene

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd68892b32376fdb0/6988a73c428a9eb5c0cd45ce/maggie-greene.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

Lauren Cohan as Maggie Greene - The Walking Dead \_ Season 6, Episode 13 - Photo Credit: Gene Page/AMC Gene Page/AMC

**Likelihood of death:** 30%

_The Walking Dead_ has aired [gruesome and horrific](http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-walking-dead-andrew-lincoln-interview-rick-negan-season-6-finale-spoilers-1201745165/) scenes before, but showing the violent death of a sick pregnant woman would take it to the next level. And it’s hard to imagine Glenn would just sit idly by as this occurred. Could Negan possibly end up taking out both halves of everyone’s favorite couple?

### Glenn Rhee

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt68d965a92e225480/6988a73ccd1bba824670270e/glenn-rhee.jpeg?branch=production&width=1920&quality=75&auto=webp)

Steven Yeun as Glenn Rhee - The Walking Dead \_ Season 6, Episode 13 - Photo Credit: Gene Page/AMC Gene Page/AMC


**Likelihood of death:** 30%

Glenn is the one to die by Negan’s hand in the comic book, making him both the obvious and easy choice. However, the show has deviated from the comics in other significant ways — Daryl is a main character, Judith is still alive, etc. — which means there’s no reason Glenn should be considered a shoo-in. On the other hand, his comic death significantly propels Maggie’s storyline forward in terms of her role as a leader, a narrative that was teased during the group’s season six trip to the Hilltop Colony.
