WWE's Bayley Comments On AEW Dynamite Tribute Show For The Late Pac

Last night, just a few days after the tragic death of Pac (real name Benjamin Satterly) at the age of 40, AEW held a tribute episode of "Dynamite" — unfortunately the company's third in the month of September. Satterly's death has affected people from across the industry, including his former WWE co-star Bayley, who shared her thoughts on the tribute show with a post on X.

"Pro wrestling is so special," Bayley wrote. "The way you can get lost in a match or a character can be so fun. There's nothing like it. But experiencing that magic and escape, while at the same time honoring a loved one, is truly powerful."

The show featured five matches that all paid tribute to the late Satterly, with an opening bout pitting Jon Moxley against Orange Cassidy. That was followed by Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page, and the Young Bucks vs. Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, Trent Baretta, and Rocky Romero. Two of Pac's rivals, Will Ospreay and Ricochet, referenced the late wrestler throughout their singles match, and that was followed by a bout featuring Mercedes Mone, Persephone, and Britt Baker vs. Marina Shafir, Thunder Rosa, and Hyan. Finally, the main event saw the Death Riders (joined by Bryan Danielson) face off against more members of The Don Callis Family.

In between the action, the company gave members of its roster an opportunity to mourn and eulogize Satterly, with a recurring theme being the fact that he was kind-hearted, humble, and a joy to talk to.
