All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, posted a tribute to fellow wrestler Andy Williams on September 17, 2026. The post featured a light‑hearted throwback photo of the two posing backstage at an undisclosed event, wearing matching flame‑printed bandanas. Pac wrote, “We always knew you were an anomaly too good for this world… I just want to say I love you, man. And you always made sure that I knew you loved me too. I’ll miss you, my friend. ‘Till we meet again.”
Williams, 48, had died two weeks earlier after a medical episode during a tag‑team match with Jesse “The Blade” Guilmette at Mr. Small’s Theatre in Millvale, Pa. He collapsed after knocking his head against a ring post and was later pronounced dead at Allegheny General Hospital. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the death followed a medical crisis, but no preliminary cause was released.
Pac, who signed with AEW in 2019, was the promotion’s inaugural All‑Atlantic champion and a two‑time World Trios champion. He had also competed in WWE from 2012 to 2018, holding the Cruiserweight, NXT, and NXT Tag Team titles. Pac died at the age of 40, as announced by AEW on Sunday night. The death occurred the same day that Williams’ family and fans gathered for a public celebration of life at Buffalo RiverWorks in Buffalo, NY.
