Fans have been waiting a long time for this.

"The Walking Dead" finale recreated the entrance of the show's next big villain, Negan, and the moment felt straight out of issue #100 of the beloved comic series. 

The moment was extremely faithful to the comics, complete with dialogue taken straight from Negan's big monologue when he first meets Rick and the Alexandria crew. 

Last chance to head back before spoilers.

The finale's biggest shock came at the episode's 90-minute end. If you're a fan of the comics, you've been waiting to see this play out on screen for some time. 

On the show, Negan plays a terrifying game of "Eeny, meeny, miney, mo" before bashing away at one of the series' main characters. However, instead of showing fans who Negan decided to kill off, the camera turned to the character's point of view at the last moment and the screen faded to black.

While some were excited by the finale, it left many fans frustrated that they would need to wait until the start of season seven in October to find out who Negan killed.

 

For those who don't read the comics, here's how the monumental moment happens in the comics.

Rick, Michonne, Glenn, Maggie, Carl, and a few others head are making their way to the Hilltop.

The trip takes longer than anticipated so the crew decides to camp out for the evening. Michonne and Rick keep watch; however, they get captured by Negan's men and end up meeting the man himself.

At this point in the comic, Rick's men have killed a lot of Negan's men so he's not too happy about that. As a result, he lines them all up and introduces them to his pride and joy — a baseball bat covered in barbed wire by the name of Lucille.

Similar to the finale, Negan chooses one of the group after a chilling game of "Eeny, meeny, miney, mo" and continues to brutally beat them to death in front of everyone.

On the show, we won't know who was killed until October. In the comics, Negan chooses Glenn and bashes his head in front of everyone.

"The Walking Dead" has been hinting that we may see the demise of Glenn or Daryl for some time on the show. Could the show have killed either of them or was it someone else who was killed?

We'll have to wait until October to know the answer for sure.
