The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Finale Trailer Might’ve Just Confirmed A *Huge* Fan Theory

We're so ready for this

Game of Thrones is already almost over for another season, and by the looks of this trailer, this finale is looking like it’s going to be seriously hectic.

While we’ve seen hundreds of fan theories thrown around, this new preview clip for the season seven finale seems to confirm one of our favourites: that The Hound fights his brother The Mountain in a trial by combat. 

Dubbed ‘Cleganebowl’ by hardcore GoT lovers, the theory has been floating ’round for years, put on hold briefly when both brothers died at different stages, only to be brought back to life again. 

In the new preview clip, an arena can be seen as everyone descends on King’s Landing to show Cersei the Wight Walker they captured from beyond the wall. 

With Cersei surrounded by Unsullied, Dothraki and a couple of dragons, it would make sense that she would demand a fight to the death – and of course, she would choose her boy, The Mountain, as her champion.

Another thing that points towards a brotherly fight to the death, is that The Hound doesn’t appear in the trailer at all.

GoT creators are notorious for leaving out the episode’s key characters to keep an element of surprise – plus, The Hound is shown in an earlier trailer in what looks to be an epic battle scene.

Prepare yourselves, Cleganebowl or not, this is going to be one intense finale.
