The wrestling world is still reeling from the sudden passing of Benjamin Satterley, also known as PAC and WWE's Adrian Neville, on September 27 at the age of 40, having just come off AEW's All Out, competing for the AEW National Championship against Andrade El Idolo. The English wrestler, known for his high-flying style and aerial attacks, earned the nicknames "The Super Superman" and "The Man That Gravity Forgot." He started competing originally as PAC when he made his debut in 2004 with the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF) and established himself in the wrestling scene locally in the country until he garnered attention from American promotions like Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Ring of Honor (ROH), and Chikara, while also serving time in the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate. He joined WWE in 2012 under the Adrian Neville moniker for the promotion's NXT brand, where he stayed until 2015, when he was promoted to the main roster, and remained until 2018, when he left WWE. He reverted to his original ring name, PAC, returned to Dragon Gate, and left for AEW in 2019.
