Pac

Benjamin Satterley (born 22 August 1986), better known by his ring name Pac (stylised in all caps), is an English professional wrestler.

He is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is a member of the Death Triangle alongside Penta El Zero M and Rey Fénix.

He was the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Champion (currently known as the AEW International Championship,) and one-time AEW World Trios Champion, at one point holding both titles simultaneously to become the first double champion in AEW history.

Satterley is noted for his high-flying style and aerial attacks, which has earned him the nickname "The Man That Gravity Forgot".

He began his wrestling career under the ring name Pac in his native northeast England with a small promotion, the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF).

After establishing himself throughout the country with promotions such as Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) and One Pro Wrestling (1PW), he began to perform overseas, most notably for American promotions such as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Ring of Honor (ROH), and Chikara, as well as the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate, where he won the Open the Brave, Triangle, and Twin Gate Championship.

He is a former PWG World Tag Team Champion and winner of PWG's inaugural Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament.

Benjamin Satterley was born in Newcastle upon Tyne on 22 August 1986, the son of Stephen and Gill (sometimes spelled Jill) Satterley.

He was extremely active as a child and participated in sports such as football, hockey, roller hockey, basketball, and swimming.

His interest in wrestling came about through one of his aunts, who was a fan of the World Wrestling Federation.

His parents had banned him from watching wrestling at their house, so he would go to his aunt's house to watch it.

His favourite wrestlers growing up were The Undertaker and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.

By the age of 16, he had wrestled with backyard wrestling organizations TWXW in Gateshead and FXW in Middlesbrough.

He also visited Scarborough Wrestling Alliance in Scarborough and Essex Championship Wrestling in Essex.

Even as one of the younger wrestlers in the group, his technical ability and athleticism ensured he was always in the most entertaining matches.

Many of the FXW roster went on to form 3Count Wrestling (3CW), an organization he would later return to.

He started training as a wrestler on a more permanent basis at the age of 18 at St Joseph's Hall in Gateshead, which he later described as "pretty much the only wrestling school in the area".

Satterley made his debut at Independent Wrestling Federation on 27 March 2004, under the ring name Pac, losing to Assassin.

For the first two years of his career, he wrestled mainly for IWF and 3 Count Wrestling.

He won his first championship on 26 August 2005 when he teamed up with Harry Pain to defeat Chris Prime.

He debuted on 14 October 2005 and defeated EdEn and Falcon in the opening match.

In 2006 he began to wrestle all across Britain and Europe.

Satterley later performed in British promotion 3 Count Wrestling.

Pac then went on to capture the 3CW North East Championship on 24 February 2006.

He then captured the 3CW Triple Crown Championship at an ICW event, which he held for 110 days.

Pac made his debut for International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom in April 2006, wrestling for the IPW:UK Title on his debut, coming up short in a triple threat against Leroy Kincaide and champion and match winner Martin Stone.

He later had two more shots at the top title in IPW:UK against Stone and then against Andy Boy Simmonz but came up short.

After a September 2006 triple threat against Kevin Steen and El Generico, the two Canadian wrestlers recommended Satterley to PWG head-booker Super Dragon and as covered below, he made his PWG debut two months later as a result of this match.

After joining One Pro Wrestling in May 2006, Pac became the first-ever Openweight Champion on 26 November after winning a battle royal.

He successfully retained the title on several occasions before losing it to James Wallace on 30 June 2007 in a match that started immediately after Pac retained the title in a four-way match.

On 29 December, Pac failed to reclaim the title after losing to then-champion Darren Burridge.

In late April, Pac represented International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom in the prestigious King of Europe Cup.

He defeated Trent Acid in the first round before falling to Nigel McGuinness in the quarter finals.

Pac was defeated in his last 3CW match by Liam Thomson on 30 April 2010.

From 2012 to 2015, Satterley wrestled under the name Adrian Neville in NXT, the developmental territory of WWE.

He won the NXT Tag Team Championship twice, with his first reign coming as one half of the inaugural champions with Oliver Grey and his second reign being with Corey Graves.

He is also a one-time NXT Champion, making him the first man to have held both the NXT Championship and the NXT Tag Team Championship.

He was promoted to the main roster under the shortened ring name Neville in 2015 and began competing in the cruiserweight division in 2016, becoming a record two-time (and longest-reigning) WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

After leaving WWE in 2018, Satterley reverted to his previous ring name of Pac and returned to Dragon Gate, holding the Open the Dream Gate Championship for much of his time there and joining the villainous R.E.D. stable.

In 2019, he left Dragon Gate and signed with AEW, where he became a member of the Death Triangle stable.
