All Elite Wrestling (AEW) confirms that professional wrestler Benjamin Satterley, known as PAC, dies at age 40. Multiple outlets report the news is announced by AEW on Sunday night, prompting reactions across the wrestling community.
Context across the coverage focuses on Satterley’s recent in-ring activity. Several reports say he wrestles at AEW’s All Out in Chicago roughly a day before his death is made public. One outlet also notes Satterley appears in or competes in a match connected to All Out shortly before his passing.
While outlets are consistent on the timing and that AEW delivers the announcement, they differ in emphasis and provide limited additional detail. VICE, NBC News, and others state that the specific circumstances of Satterley’s death are not released. Some coverage also highlights his international profile and career history, including time in major promotions such as WWE, while the precise cause and surrounding details remain unclear.
