Abraham Ford was the character whose head was brutally smashed by Negan using his baseball bat, Lucille, in The Walking Dead.
The Brutal Execution by Negan
The tragic victim of Negan's ruthless display of power was Abraham Ford, powerfully portrayed by actor Michael Cudlitz. This horrifying event occurred during a tense confrontation when the Saviors, under Negan's command, ambushed Rick's group.

He then initiated a twisted game of "Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe" to decide who would pay the ultimate price for their perceived defiance. The selection ultimately landed on Abraham, who was then subjected to Negan's brutal execution with his infamous barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat, Lucille. This moment marked a pivotal and shocking turn of events in the series, cementing Negan's terrifying presence.
