Benjamin Satterley was an English professional wrestler from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, who became internationally known under several ring names, most notably PAC in All Elite Wrestling and Neville during his WWE career.

Born on August 22, 1986, Satterley began his professional wrestling career in 2004. Over the following two decades, he competed across the British independent scene, the United States, Japan and major global wrestling promotions.

His career became particularly notable for a style built around speed, aerial attacks, athletic movement and innovative high-flying techniques. Those characteristics eventually earned him nicknames including “The Man That Gravity Forgot.”

AEW announced Satterley's death on September 27, 2026, at the age of 40. The company said he had begun wrestling professionally in 2004 and had performed for organizations around the world. AEW also highlighted his high-flying ability and his championship accomplishments with the promotion.

Satterley started his wrestling career in 2004, initially performing under the name PAC.

He developed his reputation through Britain's independent wrestling circuit, working for promotions including Real Quality Wrestling and One Pro Wrestling. His performances eventually attracted attention outside the United Kingdom.

One of the defining characteristics of his early career was his willingness to combine traditional wrestling techniques with spectacular aerial maneuvers. His athleticism made him stand out despite competing in a physically demanding industry where larger wrestlers were often prominent.

He subsequently expanded his career internationally, appearing for promotions including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Ring of Honor (ROH), Chikara and Dragon Gate.

His work in Japan became particularly important to his development, with Satterley competing in Dragon Gate and winning championships during his time there.

A major turning point came in 2012, when Satterley signed with WWE.

He was initially known as Adrian Neville while competing in WWE's developmental system, NXT. The promotion gave him an opportunity to showcase the aerial wrestling style that had already made him well known among independent wrestling fans.

In NXT, Neville became a major championship contender and eventually won the NXT Championship.

He also captured the NXT Tag Team Championship twice. According to his career record, he became the first wrestler to hold both the NXT Championship and NXT Tag Team Championship.

His NXT success eventually led to a promotion to WWE's main roster in 2015, where his name was shortened to Neville.

Neville later became closely associated with WWE's cruiserweight division.

He won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship twice, becoming one of the division's most prominent performers during its revived era. His second reign was particularly notable for its length, with his championship run becoming the longest in the title's history at that time.

His WWE run allowed a much larger global audience to see the athletic style that had defined his career.

Despite his championship success, his time with WWE eventually came to an end. Satterley left the company in 2018, bringing his WWE chapter to a close after roughly six years.

Following his WWE departure, Satterley returned to Japan and resumed competing under the name PAC.

He returned to Dragon Gate, where he continued to establish himself as one of the promotion's leading international stars. During this period, he won the Open the Dream Gate Championship and became associated with the R.E.D. stable.

He also adopted the darker “The Bastard” PAC persona that would later become a major part of his AEW identity.

The return was significant because it allowed Satterley to reconnect with the wrestling style and environment that had helped establish his international reputation before WWE.

In 2019, Satterley became one of the early major signings of All Elite Wrestling, adopting PAC as his primary AEW ring name.

AEW was launched as a new major wrestling promotion in the United States, and PAC quickly became part of its early programming.

He went on to win multiple championships in AEW. He became the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Champion, a title that was later renamed the AEW International Championship.

His championship résumé also includes AEW World Trios Championship victories.

His AEW career also featured alliances with Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix, forming the faction known as Death Triangle. The trio became one of AEW's notable combinations, particularly because all three wrestlers were known for fast-paced and athletic in-ring performances.

PAC later became associated with the Death Riders, continuing his role as one of AEW's established performers.

PAC's biggest distinguishing feature was his athletic wrestling style.

He became known for combining:

His wrestling style was particularly distinctive because he combined the visual impact of aerial wrestling with a more physical and aggressive presentation.

The nickname “The Man That Gravity Forgot” became closely associated with him because of his ability to perform complex aerial maneuvers while maintaining speed and precision.

Satterley's career included championships across several major promotions.

In WWE, his achievements included the NXT Championship, two NXT Tag Team Championship reigns and two WWE Cruiserweight Championship reigns.

In AEW, he became the inaugural All-Atlantic Champion and won the World Trios Championship twice, according to his documented career record.

He also captured championships during his international career, including titles in Dragon Gate and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

This international résumé made PAC one of the British wrestlers of his generation to establish himself across several of professional wrestling's major markets.

Satterley remained an active AEW performer in 2026.

His final documented match came at AEW All Out 2026 in Chicago, where he challenged Andrade El Ídolo for the AEW National Championship. Andrade won the match and retained the championship.

Less than 24 hours later, AEW announced Satterley's death at age 40. The promotion's statement described him as a wrestler who had entertained fans around the world through his high-flying style and in-ring ability.

As of September 28, 2026, AEW has not publicly disclosed a cause of death. Reports covering his passing have likewise noted that the circumstances had not been publicly established.

Benjamin Satterley's career crossed several generations and wrestling cultures.

He began on the British independent circuit, developed his international reputation in Japan and the United States, became a championship-winning WWE performer as Neville, and later became one of AEW's established stars as PAC.

His career is also notable for the evolution of his wrestling identity. The performer who initially became famous for spectacular aerial moves eventually developed the darker “Bastard PAC” persona, while retaining the athletic style that had defined him from the beginning.

AEW's official statement described him as a performer who competed around the world and delivered memorable matches during his time with the company.

With a professional career beginning in 2004 and spanning more than two decades, PAC's name became associated with British independent wrestling, WWE NXT, the Cruiserweight division, Dragon Gate and AEW.

His sudden passing at 40 has brought renewed attention to a career that connected multiple major eras and promotions in modern professional wrestling.
