AEW Superstar Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac, died at the age of 40, the company announced on Sunday.
Satterley also competed in WWE as Neville and held multiple championships across both companies.
Superstars from across both WWE and AEW reacted to Satterley’s passing on social media:
Satterley wrestled against AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo in the opening match of Saturday’s All Out pay-per-view. Despite losing in the title match, he put on a near 20-minute performance filled with vintage moments.
Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004 at the age of 16 on the independent circuit in England. He made his New Japan Pro-Wrestling debut in 2012, and he signed a contract with WWE later that year.
Known as “The Man That Gravity Forgot,” Satterley developed a reputation as one of WWE’s most exciting Superstars thanks to his high-flying style. He was a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion, an NXT Champion and a two-time Cruiserweight Champion.
After leaving WWE in 2018, Satterley signed with AEW the following year. He had rivalries with the likes of “Hangman” Adam Page and Kenny Omega before joining forces with Death Triangle and the Death Riders. He won the AEW World Trios Championship twice and was the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Champion.
Satterley will be remembered as one of the most talented high-flyers in wrestling history, and his presence will surely be missed.
