It Seems 'The Walking Dead' Season 8 Trailer Just Trolled Everyone

We’ve all been Rick (Grimes) rolled.

“The Walking Dead” Season 8 trailer made people freak out with a bizarre scene that seems to hint at the worst theory ever: that everything is just Rick’s coma dream.

You may have heard by now that some fans have suggested Rick Grimes never actually woke up in the hospital at the beginning of “The Walking Dead.” They think he’s still there in a coma and everything that happens is just part of his dream.

Despite creator Robert Kirkman shooting this theory down, in the Season 8 trailer we see a shot of an older-looking Rick Grimes waking up in a bed very similarly to how he supposedly woke up when the show began.
