AEW star PAC has died at age 40, just hours after competing at the company’s All Out event in Chicago.
All Elite Wrestling announced the death of Benjamin Satterley on Sunday, remembering him as one of the most innovative and gifted wrestlers of his generation. The company did not disclose a cause of death or provide additional details.
PAC wrestled Andrade El Idolo at All Out in a match for the AEW National Championship. He lost the contest, but the two men shook hands afterward in a display of respect.
That was not the end of PAC’s night. He later returned during the AEW World Championship main event between Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay. PAC became involved in the action as members of the Death Riders surrounded the title match, making his final AEW appearance part of one of the company’s biggest shows of the year.
The timing of the news made the loss especially difficult for wrestling fans. PAC had been visible throughout the event and had competed at a high level only hours before AEW confirmed his passing.
Satterley began wrestling in 2004 and built a reputation worldwide for his explosive offense, remarkable athleticism, and fearless style. His work in Europe, Japan, and the United States helped establish him as one of the most respected performers of his era.
Before joining AEW, Satterley spent several years in WWE as Neville. He became NXT Champion and won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship twice during his time with the company.
PAC joined AEW in 2019 and quickly became one of its most important international stars. He became the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Champion and later held the AEW World Trios Championship twice.
His work with Death Triangle and the Death Riders produced some of AEW’s most acclaimed matches. PAC also became known for bringing intensity to every appearance, whether he was competing in singles matches, tag team bouts, or major faction storylines.
Fans and wrestlers across the industry are now mourning a performer whose influence reached far beyond his championship accomplishments. PAC’s matches helped define modern high-flying wrestling, while his longevity and consistency made him a standout everywhere he worked.
Benjamin Satterley leaves behind a legacy built on innovation, athleticism, and unforgettable performances. AEW’s All Out appearance now stands as his final night in the ring, making an already emotional event even more difficult for the wrestling community.
