PAC, the High-Flying Star Who Left His Mark on Professional Wrestling, Dies at 40

Professional wrestling has lost one of its most dynamic performers.

Benjamin Satterley, known to millions of fans around the world as PAC and, during his WWE years, as Neville, has died at age 40.

All Elite Wrestling announced Satterley’s death Sunday, one day after he competed at the company’s All Out pay-per-view in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. A cause of death was not immediately announced.

For more than two decades, Satterley built a career defined by athleticism, innovation and a willingness to take his craft to new heights.

Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began his professional wrestling career in 2004. He quickly established himself on the independent circuit before taking his talents to some of the world's biggest wrestling promotions.

In 2012, Satterley joined WWE, where he performed under the name Neville. His speed and aerial offense made him a standout competitor, and he became a familiar presence to wrestling fans around the world.

After leaving WWE in 2018, Satterley returned to the independent scene before joining All Elite Wrestling in 2019 as PAC.

In AEW, he became one of the promotion's recognizable stars and a key member of Death Triangle alongside Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix. The trio reached the top in 2022, winning the AEW World Trios Championship.

Satterley's career was built on more than championships. His matches showcased a style that blended explosive athleticism with technical skill, helping establish him as one of professional wrestling's premier high-flying performers.

AEW remembered Satterley as a performer who captivated audiences with his innovative high-flying moves and exceptional ability inside the ring.

"All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka PAC," the company said in a statement. "Our condolences go out to Satterley's family, friends and fans."

Satterley is survived by his wife, Nicole.

For fans who watched him rise from the independent wrestling circuit to the world's biggest promotions, PAC's career was a long-running highlight reel—one built on speed, daring, championships and a style that made him impossible to overlook.
