Read on to find out what to expect.

According to the synopsis and promo video for "The Walking Dead" (TWD) Season 6 finale, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) attempts to negotiate with Negan and his men in an attempt to save their own. However, things may not turn out as Rick expected. Whatever happens outside the walls of Alexandria Safe Zone and between Rick and Negan and The Saviours, it will change their life forever.
Speculations running rampant hint at the death of an Alexandrian at the hands of Negan during his first appearance. In addition, an audio footage from "Last Day on Earth" teasing Negan's entrance had surfaced and confirms that one of the survivors encounter with Lucille leading to a death.
The 11-minute audio footage was released by The Spoiling Dead Fans on their Facebook Page but the audio/video was soon taken down. However, some media outlets managed to write about it and give the details.
According to Melty's report on the TSDF's leaked audio, it teases the ending scene of episode 16 wherein Negan would kill one member of Rick's group using Lucille, Negan's baseball bat covered in barbed wire. Considering the audio dialogue, the website speculates that Rick and Carl (Chandler Riggs) are safe.
"You do not mess with the new world order... you work for me now," Negan reportedly tells Rick.
Also, the Season 6 villain has some brutal plans for Carl, if Rick refuses to obey his orders. "Cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father... and then we'll start," Negan said as quoted.
So, who does Negan kill? Before Negan makes the kill, he appears to have pulled Maggie (Lauren Cohan) out of the group of survivours lined up before him. The publications says so because the clip features "Glenn-sounding voice" pleading "don't, don't."
Later, Negan plays the game of "eenie meenie-miny-moe" to make his final pick. While it still remains uncertain who Negan picks, it is said it is either Glenn (Steven Yeun) or Daryl. Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" comic book readers know that the first survivour to be killed by Negan is Glenn. However, on various occasions, the showrunners have altered the storyline. So, fans must take the information with a grain of salt.
Speaking to Deadline, "The Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus opened up about the Season 6 finale. "Without a doubt, this whole season has been just completely ballistic. I will say that the Season 6 finale is the most hard-core finale we've ever done, if not the best episode we've ever done. I mean I saw a rough rough rough cut of it way back when and I was speechless for at least an hour. So hold on for the rest of this, because it gets real crazy," Reedus said.
"The Walking Dead" (TWD) Season 6 episode 16 (finale) airs April 3, Sunday at 9:00 pm on AMC. Stay tuned for more related information, spoilers and updates.
