Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and other AEW stars pay emotional tribute to PAC

An emotional AEW tribute episode was dedicated to the late wrestler PAC, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley. The tribute aired on a Wednesday, just a day after PAC had passed away on September 27th, 2026. AEW President and CEO Tony Khan announced the special show to pay respects to the wrestler.

The show featured AEW superstars paying their heartfelt tributes to PAC, beginning with commentators Excalibur and Tony Schiavone delivering eulogies and exclusive post-show promos. Following a 10-bell salute, Jon Moxley and the Death Riders, who were integral to PAC's career, both on and off-screen, made their debut. Moxley had recently faced Orange Cassidy, a frequent adversary of PAC's early AEW days, a match that became AEW's second-most-watched YouTube video ever.

After their impressive bout, Bryan Danielson joined the ring, marking their first collaboration in two years. Danielson, a former member of the Blackpool Combat Club, now known as the Death Riders, embraced Moxley in the middle of the ring, paying tribute to their lost friend. Other wrestlers, such as Adam Page, Cash Wheeler, Jay White, Ricochet, and Will Ospreay, shared their emotional testimonials about PAC, known as Ben, and the impact he had on their lives.

Teams like The Elite and New Level also honored Satterley, while Ricochet and Ospreay wrestled each other, both acknowledging PAC as a mentor. Ospreay executed PAC's iconic finishing move, the Black Arrow, to secure the victory. The main event featured the Death Riders facing off against the Don Callis Family, with Bryan Danielson stepping in to wrestle after refusing to participate earlier.

The Death Riders emerged victorious, gathering around PAC's iconic steel chair, now empty, to pay tribute to Benjamin Satterley. The show concluded with an emotional video package dedicated to Satterley, set to the song 'I Know How to Speak' by Manchester Orchestra.
