So I'm on the Jon and the Night King die boat. I haven't seen much trying to predict their deaths but I think they are going to fight and ultimately kill each other. How? A repeat of history where Jon and the Night King are fighting on dragons, but at some point the two collide. Jon leaps off of Rhaegal onto Viserion, stabbing the Night King. After the collision Rhaegal and Jon fall to their deaths. Dany and Drogon are unable to help Jon and Rhaegal because (insert D&D reason here). This will mirror the events from the Battle Above the Gods Eye. Maybe this actually occurs over the Gods Eye since we see the ice and fire meet there in the first trailer we got this year (I think it's called Dragnstone).
I think this could be visually stunning and emotional for the audience. Imagine watching Jon leaping in air and as he kills the Night King and an ice explosion occurs. Grounded characters see wights and wight walkers collapse/die but then they look up and see Jon and Rhaegal falling out of the sky. Each character would have their own reaction to this as the camera sweeps across the survivors. Picture Arya and Davos sprinting towards Jon, while Sansa and Dany just cover their mouths in shock. The last image we have of Jon is him closing his eyes just before he hits the ground, accepting his death. Dany cannot save Jon, that would be too cheesy and would go against what GoT is supposed to be. Emotionally as the audience we will (most of us) be happy as the Night King dies, but then we realize that the hero is making the ultimate sacrifice. Thus a bitter-sweet ending to the war against death.
TLDR: Jon and Night King kill each other by events like the link above.
