So we are all well aware that last season ended in Jon being betrayed by his brothers in the Nights Watch (god I fucking hate that brat Olly… the little bastard killed Jon and Ygritte). But I think, as many others do, that Jon isn’t staying dead, that he will be reborn somehow… so here are the ways that I think that can happen.
*AS ALWAYS SPOILERS FOR SEASONS 1-5 AND SOME THEORIES MAY BE POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Melisandre
Melisandre could end up being the one that is able to bring him back. We know she is still at the wall (here), and we know that R’hllor (the lord of light) has the ability to bring people back to life (via Thoros of Myr) who is also a priest of the Lord of Light. Melisandre seemed extremely interested in Jon while she was at the wall, so she may see greatness in him (Azor Ahai anyone?) and with her returning to the wall at the end of the season, I view this as a strong possibility. I think this is most likely what is going to happen, which I’d love because people would be forced to like Melisandre (who I’m a fan of) and they would hate it.
He Is Reborn In Flames
As many people believe (myself included) that Jon has the blood of the dragon, that he is part Targaryen (if you somehow don’t know this theory, link is here), then he may be reborn in fire, similar to Daenerys at the end of season 1. This could also help prove that he is Azor Ahai reborn, as he’d be reborn through salt and smoke. This also seems like a strong possibility. I think that there is a chance that he may be reborn in flames, but Mel is still involved somehow, she’s there for a reason.
Ghost
He could also warg into Ghost as he lays dying. Warging is something that has only been done by Bran in the show, with only very subtle hints that Jon may also have the ability as well. In the books, warging is a much bigger storyline (its actually Ygritte who firsts calls him one, and then explains what it is). If Jon is a warg in the show (he is) then he could theoretically warg into Ghost as he is being stabbed. I don’t think its likely that the main star of the show is going to permanently be turned into a wolf, so I would view more as a temporary thing if it does happen, until his human body is alive again (although you never know with GOT, anyone can and will die).
He Is Revived As An Other
Now this would throw everybody off. What if Jon is revived by the bad guys? Would he then also be bad? But his hair is so perfect, he can’t be evil. It can’t be denied that the Night’s King seemed to take a keen interest in Jon, but why (some theories here). I think its because the Night’s King was/is a Stark (Old Nan told Bran the story of the Night’s King in season 1, and says he was a Stark). I don’t see this as likely, it would be a huge unexpected twist.
