AEW has announced that PAC (Benjamin Satterley) has passed away aged 40, less than 24 hours after competing at All Out.

PAC wrestled less than 24 hours ago at the AEW All Out pay-per-view event in Chicago, where he lost in the opening match to Andrade El Idolo for the National Championship.

AEW made the announcement on social media, writing:

All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac. A native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004 and went on to perform for wrestling organizations all over the world, captivating fans with innovative high-flying moves and incredible in-ring ability. Pac signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and held multiple AEW Championships and competed in some of the most memorable matches in AEW history. Our condolences go out to Satterley’s family, friends and fans.

We will provide any updates as they become available.

PAC competed in WWE for several years prior to signing with AEW, wrestling under the name Adrian Neville, and later simply just Neville, where he was a former NXT Tag Team Champion, NXT Champion and Cruiserweight Champion.

We send out thoughts to the friends, family and fans of PAC following this tragic news.
