Benjamin Satterley, the professional wrestler known to fans as PAC in All Elite Wrestling and Adrian Neville during his WWE career, has died at the age of 40. All Elite Wrestling announced his passing on Sunday, September 27, 2026, one day after he competed at the company’s All Out pay-per-view event in Illinois. Satterley was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and began his professional wrestling career in 2004.
Over the following two decades, he built an international reputation for his athleticism, high-flying style, technical ability, and memorable performances. He joined WWE in 2012 and performed under the name Adrian Neville, later shortened to Neville. During his time with the company, he became NXT Champion, NXT Tag Team Champion, and WWE Cruiserweight Champion. His spectacular wrestling style earned him the nickname “The Man That Gravity Forgot.”
Satterley became one of AEW’s first major signings when he joined the promotion in 2019 and adopted the PAC name. He went on to win multiple championships, including the All-Atlantic Championship and AEW World Trios Championship. He was also a member of the Death Riders faction. His death came shortly after his appearance at All Out, where he competed in a championship match in Chicago. A cause of death had not been publicly provided at the time of the announcement.
Tributes quickly followed from AEW colleagues and wrestling figures, who remembered Satterley for his dedication, athletic ability, professionalism, and friendship. His passing at 40 has left the wrestling world mourning a performer whose career took him from Britain’s independent scene to some of the biggest wrestling promotions worldwide. He is survived by loved ones, friends, colleagues, and millions of fans who followed his remarkable career.
