Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson uploaded a three-and-a-half minute
video on his social media addressing the death of Benjamin
“Pac” Satterley.
Shot inside his gym, Johnson said it hurts his heart to do
this but he wanted to send his love, condolences, support,
and mana to the Satterley family for enduring the loss of
their loved one.
“For those who are watching this who don’t know who Benjamin
Satterley, who he is, he was a professional wrestler known
in the WWE as Neville,” Johnson said. “I’ve met him a few
times, shook his hand, and most recently known as PAC, PAC
in AEW, All Elite Wrestling, and he passed away. Sadly,
young, too young, I believe he was 40, and I’m just so sorry
to hear this news.”
Johnson said that professional wrestling is global, and as
much as global WWE is and as much as “AEW is growing into
this phenomenal wrestling company,” professional wrestlers
are a tight-knit group no matter where you’re wrestling
around the world.
“We all share the same DNA, and that is our love and our
passion for the squared circle and to perform for audiences
around the world, and we’re a little crazy, and that’s
okay,” he continued. “But when we lose one of our own, it
hurts, and when they’re young and so insanely talented, it
really, it really f*cking hurts, and especially when a life
is robbed, and you don’t get that opportunity to live a full
life, and I’ve lost a lot of friends, as we’d know.
The Rock sent his condolences to his friend, Tony Khan and
the entire AEW locker room as well as his colleagues in WWE
who knew him well.
“God bless you, Benjamin, and thank you for the memories,
and thank you for entertaining the masses, and as I like to
say, thank you for moving the crowd, and as we say in
wrestling, thank you for the house,” The Rock concluded
before telling the Satterley family to stay strong.
