Killing off his character would give the show a new storyline as it would have a huge impact on the other members of the group, particularly Maggi and Rick. The death of Glenn would give everyone in Alexandra a new impetus for survival and more importantly, to take down Negan and the Saviors.
It has been previously reported that Negan and his Saviors are not going to be the big bad in Season 7 of the “The Walking Dead.”
There were even reports saying that Rick Grimes and his group from Alexandra would eventually patch up their differences with Negan and his Saviors and they would team up to fight an even bigger enemy.
However, there are now reports going around saying that Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is still going to be the big bad for “The Walking Dead” Season 7, the way he and his Saviors were during Season 6.
According to latest reports, there shall be an All Out War storyline in “The Walking Dead” Season 7 which is also based on the comic book source material and it shall feature Rick, played by Andrew Lincoln, working together with other groups to topple Negan from his lofty perch.
The TV series shall reportedly focus on the tension between Negan and the other communities in “The Walking Dead” Season 7 and Rick would rally other groups against the leader of the Saviors.
