Benjamin Satterly (22 August 1986 – 27 September 2026) was an English professional wrestler. He wrestled under the ring names Adrian Neville, Neville, and Pac. He was known for his time in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), the WWE and on the Independent circuit.

In AEW, he was a one-time and the first AEW All-Atlantic Champion, two-time AEW World Trios Champion with Death Triangle (Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix) and Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta). In WWE, he was a former one-time NXT Champion, a two-time and longest-reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion and a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion with Oliver Grey and Corey Graves.

Career

On the 16 January 2013 episode of NXT, he made his WWE debut under the ring name Adrian Neville defeating Sakamoto.

On the 13 February episode of NXT (originally taped on 31 January), Neville along with Oliver Grey, won the finals of tournament to crown the first ever NXT Tag Team Champions by defeating the Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan). When Grey suffered a torn ACL (in storyline caused by the Wyatt Family), Neville decided to choose Bo Dallas as his new partner in April. On the 8 May episode of NXT (taped on 2 May), during the team's first defence, Neville and Dallas lost the championships to the Wyatt Family.

At NXT Arrival, Neville was able to win the NXT Championship when he defeated Bo Dallas in a ladder match. On 11 December at the NXT Takeover: [R]Evolution event, Neville lost the championship to Sami Zayn.

Death

On 27 September 2026, Satterley was found unresponsive in his rental car in Des Plaines, Illinois. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. His death was not considered suspicious and no foul play was believed to been involved. His death was announced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The announcement came less than 21 hours after he had competed at All Out. The cause of death was bronchial asthma.

Many tributes for Satterley were shared by many in the professional wrestling industry and AEW owner Tony Khan announced that an episode of Dynamite will be held in his honour.
