As we've heard Melisandre mention, Azor Ahai's second coming will be contingent on the following factors:
1. He or she must be born of smoke and salt
2. He or she must wake dragons out of stone
3. He or she must be born under a bleeding red star
4. He or she must make a sacrifice
5. Darkness must fall upon the earth
This was just fan service for a popular character.

Seriously though, these accusations of fan service are so lazy.
It's a logical conclusion that a major character would take out another major character, isn't it? Arya the girl trained in assassination and super sneakiness is a logical choice. Jon was the other but it could've been anyone. Would those have been fan service too?
Who cares about Azor Ahai. Unless I missed something Melisandre never called Arya that, she just said she'd shut some lights out, that was her prophecy for Arya. Nothing else. The 2/5 Prince that was promise mark doesn't matter.
At that point it was great writing. Arya had been out of the picture for sometime, you have cut backs to Jon trying desperately to to Bran and Arya comes out of nowhere to do it.
Well done.
