Eddie Kingston Shares Grief And Memories After PAC's Passing
Eddie Kingston posted a ten-minute Instagram video after the death of PAC, who died on September 27 at age 40. Kingston spoke about grieving both PAC and Andy Williams and said he does not know when he will return to AEW. He also shared personal memories of their friendship and told PAC he loved him.
PAC, whose birth name was Benjamin Satterley, died on September 27 at 40. His friend and AEW colleague Eddie Kingston addressed the loss in a ten-minute Instagram video posted the next day, also mourning Andy “The Butcher” Williams. Kingston said he feels he is losing people who trusted and accepted him, and he is unsure when he will appear in AEW again.
Kingston recalled shared meals at The Cheesecake Factory with their partners during injury layoffs, birthday mozzarella sticks, and teasing PAC with the name Andy Carroll. He also described an impromptu pandemic-era promo after taking an edible, which ran about half an hour but yielded only a brief usable segment. PAC and Kingston last teamed in March 2024.
This story may resonate most with wrestling fans, AEW viewers, and people who followed PAC's career, as well as those grieving public losses. Kingston's openness about grief and uncertainty could encourage conversations about mental health and the pressure performers face after personal tragedy. It may also shape how audiences view AEW's roster and storylines in the short term, though the company and Kingston's return timeline remain uncertain.
