PAC

Benjamin Satterley, known professionally as PAC, was born on August 22, 1986, in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He developed an early interest in wrestling, influenced by his aunt who was a fan of WWF. His parents initially restricted his wrestling viewing, leading him to watch matches at his aunt’s home. Satterley was involved in various sports during his childhood, including basketball, football, and roller hockey, which contributed to his athleticism. He began his formal wrestling training at age 18 at St Joseph’s Hall in Gateshead, under the guidance of Mark Sloan, developing a technical and acrobatic style.

PAC started his in-ring career on March 27, 2004, with the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF) before expanding his presence across the British and European independent circuits. He quickly gained recognition for his aerial maneuvers, earning nicknames like “The Super Superman” and “The Man That Gravity Forgot.” In 2007, he began wrestling internationally, making notable appearances in American promotions like Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and Ring of Honor (ROH), as well as Japan’s Dragon Gate. His tenure in Dragon Gate saw him win multiple championships, including the Open the Brave Gate, Triangle, and Twin Gate Championships, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and skilled performer.

From 2012 to 2018, PAC wrestled in WWE under the name Adrian Neville, later shortened to Neville. He joined NXT, WWE’s developmental territory, and became a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion and a one-time NXT Champion, making him the first to hold both titles. Upon his main roster call-up in 2015, he continued to showcase his athletic prowess. In 2016, he joined the cruiserweight division, where he became a two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, holding the title for a record duration. After leaving WWE in 2018, he returned to Dragon Gate, reclaiming his PAC moniker and winning the Open the Dream Gate Championship. In 2019, he signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he has continued to achieve significant milestones, including becoming the inaugural AEW International Champion and a two-time AEW World Trios Champion.
