![TV HANDOUT: GAME OF THRONES - SEASON 8. Arya Stark [Maisie Williams]](https://usercontent.one/wp/www.newsgroove.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Maisie-Williams-shuts-down-Game-Of-Thrones-theory-about-how-Arya-Stark-killed-Night-King.jpg?media=1711065099)
Game Of Thrones fans will know that Arya Stark killed the feared Night King by stabbing him with Valryian steel in the Battle of Winterfell.
While some viewers praised the fact that the littlest Stark slayed Westeros’ biggest threat, some felt Jon Snow was robbed of the final blow after seasons of taking out White Walkers.
Hence the theory that when Jon screamed at an undead dragon, he was in fact, intentionally distracting the Viserion in order to let Arya go by and do her killing thing.
Well, Maisie Williams shut that one down pretty quickly.
‘She did that on her own,” the actress said at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, confirming that Snow didn’t help her.
She added: ‘But if we were to give credit to anyone it would be Melisandre.’
The 23-year-old also revealed during the Comic-Con panel that she’d be keen for a Game Of Thrones spin-off if the costumes are easy to get into.
Viewers have been scratching their heads for months to work out how Arya killed the Night King, and are still not convinced even after the man behind the monster hinted at how she did it.

Vladimir Furdik shared a video on Twitter, which may explain how Arya got to The Night King with an early shot of the hero leaping from a rooftop in an episode from the early Game of Thrones heyday.
‘A girl learned from her training,’ the 49-year-old hinted to his 9,000 followers.
The Night King’s death was just one of many complaints to plague the final season of Game of Thrones.
From a rogue coffee cup to unfinished storylines and everything Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) did or said, the HBO juggernaut’s legacy was undeniably tarnished.
Although the show still raked in a staggering 32 Emmy nominations so, you know, swings and roundabouts.
