All Elite Wrestling Confirms Passing
All Elite Wrestling released a statement confirming his passing. The statement read: All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka PAC. The promotion described him as a performer who captivated fans with innovative high-flying moves and incredible in-ring ability. Our condolences go out to Satterley's family, friends and fans.
Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004. He competed extensively on the British independent scene before wrestling around the world for promotions including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Dragongate. He quickly established himself as one of the most acclaimed high-flying workers of his generation. Satterley's mainstream breakthrough came when he signed with WWE in 2012.
He performed under the ring name Neville and was nicknamed The Man That Gravity Forgot because of his spectacular aerial offense. He became a standout performer on WWE's developmental brand NXT before moving to the main roster in 2015. During his six years with WWE, he became a two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, one-time NXT Champion and two-time NXT Tag Team Champion.
Return to Independent Scene
After parting ways with WWE in 2018, Satterley returned to the independent scene and captured another title with Japan's Dragongate. He then became one of AEW's earliest major signings in 2019, performing under the ring name PAC. Satterley remained with AEW for the next seven years, competing as a singles wrestler and as part of several prominent factions. He formed the Death Triangle in 2020 alongside Penta and Rey Fenix.
In 2024, he joined Jon Moxley's Death Riders. During his time in AEW, Satterley became the promotion's inaugural All-Atlantic Champion in 2022 and twice captured its World Trios Championship. His first trios title reign made him the first wrestler in AEW history to hold two championships simultaneously. Satterley held multiple AEW championships and competed in some of the most memorable matches in AEW history.
The wrestling world is mourning the loss of a performer whose career spanned more than two decades and multiple continents. He is remembered for his innovative high-flying style and incredible in-ring ability.
