Watch: "Game of Thrones" Actors Play "Would You Rather" Game

Is Jon Snow really dead?!

It's safe to say the stars of Game of Thrones have been asked that question, oh, only a million times over the last six months, ever since Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was brutally stabbed in the closing moments of the season five finale, sending the Internet into a deep depression...and denial, refusing to believe he's dead. (Not helping: all the clues hinting at Harington's return.)

The hiatus was long and full of endless questions about their co-star's future on the show, so E! News' Erin Lim decided to have a little fun with the HBO fantasy hit's stars at the Los Angeles premiere, playing a round of Would You Rather: answer a question about Jon Snow's fate or go a round in the wrestling ring against WWE star John Cena

As you can imagine, some of Westeros' biggest players were willing to go up against Cena to avoid having to once again talk about the fallen Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, including Emilia Clarke, Alfie Allen and Lena Headey, who said, "I have a six-year-old son. I know every wrestling move in the book!"

And through the game, we learned that Cena (who also stole scenes in Amy Schumer's Trainwreck), was actually Sophie Turner's childhood crush. "I grew up watching wrestling when I was younger and this was my guy!" Turner (aka Sansa Stark) revealed. But crush or not, she still chose to answer a question about her on-screen bro's fate over getting in the ring with Cena. 

But the stars who chose to talk about Jon Snow's fate over facing off against Cena were not holding back. "He's dead, for sure dead," Hannah Murray, who plays Gilly, bluntly told us. "You know the whole stages of grief thing and the first one is denial? I think everyone really needs to move on past that, you can do some bargaining, but then you need to get to acceptance!"

To really hammer the point home, Wildling Tormund Giantsbane's portrayer Kristofer Hivju said, "He's very dead and Kit Harington is great at playing a corpse! He's the best corpse actor in the world!" 

So how did the rest of the cast answer our Would You Rather question? Press play on the video above to find out.

Game of Thrones season six premieres on Sunday, April 24 on HBO.
