Tragically, former wrestling star Pac, known offstage as Benjamin Satterley, passed away due to bronchial asthma. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, Satterley died late last month at the age of 40. The California Post reported this incident following AEW’s announcement of his demise, stating, “All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac.”

Satterley, hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, began his wrestling career in 2004. He gained international recognition through his high-flying moves and remarkable performances, captivating audiences across various wrestling organizations. Pac signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019, achieving multiple AEW Championship wins and participating in some of the organization’s most unforgettable matches.

Tragically, Pac died shortly after challenging Andrade El Idolo for the AEW National Championship at the All Out event. His body was found in a rental car near a CAVA location outside of Chicago, mere hours after the fight. Des Plaines, Illinois police are investigating his death, discovered close to O’Hare airport guided by GPS from his phone.

Pac was celebrated as one of AEW’s earliest signees, holding titles such as the two-time trios champion and inaugural all-Atlantic champion. Before AEW, he performed under the name Adrian Neville in WWE, achieving titles as NXT champion, two-time cruiserweight champion, and NXT tag team champion.

Pac’s unexpected passing has brought sadness to his colleagues, family, friends, and fans worldwide, with AEW expressing heartfelt condolences.
