British wrestler Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, dies at 40

Newcastle upon Tyne, England, September 28, 2026 — British professional wrestler Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, has died at the age of 40, his representatives and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) have confirmed.

AEW said it was “saddened to announce the passing” of Satterley, who signed with the organisation in 2019.

His death was confirmed a day after he participated in AEW’s All Out event at an arena in Chicago on Saturday evening. No cause of death has been provided.

A native of Newcastle upon Tyne, Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004 and went on to perform for wrestling organisations around the world. AEW said he captivated fans with innovative high-flying moves and strong in-ring ability.

Satterley held multiple AEW championships and competed in what the organisation described as some of the most memorable matches in AEW history.

Before joining AEW, he also performed for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Mexico’s Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.

He used several personas during his career, including Pac and Adrian Neville. He was also known as “The Man That Gravity Forgot”, a reference to his high-flying style and signature finishing move.

Tributes followed from figures across professional wrestling, with many expressing shock at his death.

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman described his death as a “truly terrible loss” and said Satterley was a “tremendous talent and even finer human being”.

AEW President Tony Khan said Satterley “defined excellence” as a husband, friend and through his wrestling knowledge, skill and “unprecedented athleticism”.
