All Elite Wrestling has announced the death of PAC wrestler Benjamin Satterley, a British performer who had competed for the promotion since 2019.
AEW confirmed Satterley’s death on September 27, 2026, but did not disclose a cause.
The promotion described him as a native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and said he had begun wrestling in 2004 before performing for organisations around the world.
The announcement came one day after Satterley wrestled at AEW All Out in Chicago.
He challenged Andrade El Ídolo for the AEW National Championship in the opening match at NOW Arena, with Andrade retaining the title by pinfall.

Pac Wrestler: PAC’s final AEW match
PAC entered the All Out bout as a member of the Death Riders faction and pushed Andrade through a fast-paced title contest built around aerial attacks, counters and submission attempts.
According to AEW’s official match report, PAC hit a springboard cutter, a 450 splash and an avalanche hurricanrana before applying his Brutalizer submission hold.
Andrade escaped the hold and turned the exchange into a roll-up victory.
The match had been set up after PAC defeated Adam Priest on AEW Collision on September 19.
Andrade then confronted him, leading to PAC’s challenge for the National Championship at All Out.
AEW’s event results identified the match as the final contest on the company’s schedule for PAC.
The promotion’s subsequent statement did not provide additional details about the circumstances of his death.
A career spanning AEW and WWE
Satterley became widely known in WWE as Neville, where he won the NXT Championship, NXT Tag Team Championship and WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
WWE’s official profile highlighted his high-flying style and finishing move, the Red Arrow.
He joined AEW in 2019 and became one of the company’s most recognisable technically gifted performers.
AEW said he held multiple championships during his time with the promotion and competed in several of its most memorable matches.
PAC was associated with major AEW names including Kenny Omega, Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin and Jon Moxley.
His matches were often built around speed, precision and a willingness to combine top-rope attacks with aggressive submission wrestling.
AEW’s archives show that PAC was part of the company’s early competitive identity.
In 2019, he faced Kenny Omega at All Out and later became involved in high-profile rivalries that helped establish AEW’s singles division.

AEW is scheduled to hold Dynamite in Pittsburgh on September 30, 2026, followed by Collision in Highland Heights, Kentucky, on October 3.

For fans, PAC’s death closes the career of a wrestler whose work connected the independent scene, WWE’s cruiserweight division and AEW’s international roster.
