Its season six finale episode which offered viewers their first look at Negan and his infamous Lucille, ended with Negan playing a game to decide who would be the first to meet Lucille.

In a recent clip titled “Right Hand Man," Negan is seen with a bloodied Lucille, having a conversation with a devastated Rick.

"I’m gonna kill you. Not today, not tomorrow, but I’m gonna kill you,” Rick promises Negan.
