AEW Posts Unaired Pac Memorial Messages From Roster
AEW used the September 30 edition of Dynamite to honor Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, after his death on September 27. Because many roster members wanted to speak, AEW uploaded additional tribute messages that did not fit on television to its YouTube channel. Bryan Danielson, the Young Bucks, Chuck Taylor, Brandon Cutler, Konosuke Takeshita, and referee Bryce Remsburg were among those sharing memories.
AEW's Sept. 30 "Dynamite" honored Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, who died Sept. 27. The broadcast included tributes from Hangman Page, Darby Allin, Jay White and others, but more roster members wanted to speak. AEW's YouTube channel therefore posted a compilation of messages that did not air.
In those clips, Bryan Danielson praised his friend Ben and noted Pac disliked compliments, a point the Young Bucks echoed. Chuck Taylor and Brandon Cutler spoke of grief over losing close people. Konosuke Takeshita said his father cried watching a Pac match, while referee Bryce Remsburg wore a Club America jersey he had bought with Pac in Mexico City and said his children became Newcastle United supporters because of Ben.
This story could deepen fans' sense of connection to AEW's roster, as unaired tributes let viewers see more personal memories. It may also affect wrestlers and backstage staff, who could find public mourning both comforting and difficult. For broader audiences, the coverage may underscore how combat sports communities process loss collectively, though its main impact likely remains within wrestling's dedicated fanbase.
