Tony Khan, the owner of All Elite Wrestling, paid tribute to Benjamin Satterley at Ring of Honor tapings, according to Yahoo Sports. Satterley, who wrestled as Pac, died at age 40, the BBC and CNN reported. Yahoo Sports described Khan as emotional during the tribute and reported that he said Satterley leaves behind a legacy that will endure.
AEW announced Satterley's passing in a statement on its own channels, per the promotion. The New York Post reported that the wrestler was found slumped over in a vehicle outside a CAVA restaurant before his death, citing an exclusive account. No cause of death was included in the material reviewed.
