All Elite Wrestling announced his death Monday, calling attention to the high-flying style and in-ring ability that made him a favorite with fans around the world. AEW did not announce a cause of death.

A native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began wrestling in 2004 and performed for promotions around the world before joining WWE. There, he won the NXT Championship as Adrian Neville and later became a two-time cruiserweight champion under the name Neville.

He signed with AEW in 2019, returned to the Pac name and won multiple championships. His speed and aerial moves made him one of wrestling's most distinctive performers, whether he was wrestling on his own or alongside a team.

AEW president Tony Khan remembered Satterley as a beloved husband and friend, as well as an extraordinary athlete. Tributes also came from wrestlers across the industry, including Paul Heyman and Matt Hardy.

"Pac signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and held multiple AEW Championships and competed in some of the most memorable matches in AEW history," the company said in its announcement.

AEW extended its condolences to Satterley's family, friends and fans.
