'Walking Dead' shocks fans with two devastating deaths in season 7 premiere

(Spoiler alert: Do not keep reading if you have not seen the Season 7 premiere of "The Walking Dead")

"The Walking Dead" returned with a bang on Sunday, with Negan's victim from the Season 6 finale cliffhanger meeting their bloody end at his hands.

After months of waiting, fans finally know who was brutally killed by having their head smashed in with Negan's barbed wire baseball bat.

And that person is…

Abraham (Michael Cudlitz).

That's right, the cigar-chomping red head met his maker thanks to Negan. But being the bad ass that he is, Abraham took a swing from the bat and managed to get up and tell Negan, "Suck my nuts."

Of course, that wasn't revealed right away when the episode began. In fact, it took the premiere a full 20 minutes before they unveiled that Abraham had died.

In the bloody aftermath, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) can't help but gloat, causing Daryl (Norman Reedus) to spring up and punch him in the face.

Negan spares Daryl but takes his vengeance on the group by also killing fan-favorite Glenn (Steven Yeun).

In a shocking twist, Negan kills both Abraham and Glenn in two of the most graphic deaths the show has ever done, and fulfilling Glenn's destiny in the comics.

Fans were not happy.

Later, Negan explains to Rick that he is now expected to turn over most of Alexandria's goods to The Saviors.

But Negan is still not satisfied that Rick will bow down. So Negan threatens to kill everyone unless Rick cuts off his son Carl's arm.

In one of the most tense moments in "Walking Dead" history, Rick must choose between the lives of the whole group and his own son. Negan stops him at the last moment, explaining he just wanted to show Rick how little power he now has.

Just before Negan sends the group on their way, he has Daryl loaded up into a van and taken away, telling Rick, "He's mine now."

When all the Saviors leave, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) rises and tells Rick that they must prepare for a battle with Negan and his men.
