We have tragic news to report from the world of pro wrestling.
AEW star Benjamin Satterley, better known to fans as Pac has passed away.
Satterley was just 40 years old.
All Elite Wrestling announced the devastating news on Sunday. A cause of death has not been announced.
The timing of Satterley’s death makes the news especially shocking.
The wrestler had competed in AEW’s All Out pay-per-view event in Chicago on Saturday night — less than 24 hours before his death (via CNN).
PAC faced Andrade El Idolo during the event, challenging for the National Championship. Andrade ultimately retained the title.
Satterley was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and began his professional wrestling career in 2004.
He eventually made his way to the United States, where he became known for his athletic, high-flying wrestling style.
In 2012, Satterley signed with WWE and adopted the ring name Adrian Neville. He became a major part of the company’s NXT brand and won the NXT Championship before eventually moving to WWE’s main roster.
He later captured the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Satterley left WWE in 2018 and joined AEW the following year as one of the promotion’s original signings.
Under the name Pac, he became the first All-Atlantic Champion and also won the AEW World Trios Championship.
Since 2024, he had been part of the Death Riders faction.
AEW described Satterley as a wrestler who captivated fans around the world with his innovative moves and extraordinary ability inside the ring.
“Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac,” the company said in its statement, while extending its condolences to his family, friends and fans.
AEW President Tony Khan also paid tribute to the late wrestler.
“Benjamin Satterley defined excellence,” Khan wrote, praising him as a beloved husband and friend while also highlighting his athleticism, professionalism and dedication to wrestling.
Satterley’s death marks another loss for the wrestling community, which recently mourned former AEW wrestler Andy Williams, known professionally as The Butcher, who died at 48.
Our thoughts go out to the entire AEW community during this incredibly difficult time.

Though Taylor Swift sometimes skips awards shows, we’re glad that she was present for this one.
The VMAs were Sunday night.
Even if a lot of Swift’s recent music has divided fans, she brought home multiple awards.
One is a brand-new award that honors her creative vision not only as a singer and songwriter, but as a director.
Once again, congratulations Taylor Swift!
On Sunday, September 27, Taylor Swift took home an inaugural award at the VMAs.
She received MTV’s first-ever Artist Director Honors.
This award refers to artists, like the singer-songwriter herself, who also direct their own music videos.
Of the “roughly” 60 music videos that she’s put out, Swift told the crowd, she wrote and directed 18 of them.
Taking to the stage (after friend Dakota Johnson introduced her), Taylor spoke about why directing many — but not all — of her music videos meant so much to her.
“I got to tell you, though, the main reason why I love writing and directing music videos so much is because you, the fans, make it so much fun,” Swift gushed to the adoring crowd.
“You make it so rewarding!” she reiterated.
“Because,” Swift explained, “you actually care about what we’re making.”
Many hardcore Swifties joke that she uses clues and puzzles akin to a fictional serial killer to hint at her next project or announcement. They’re not entirely wrong.
Swift’s music videos are similarly full of little hints, little symbols and clues, that help lay out who and what the song is about.
She knows that she did not do her music videos alone
“I want to say thank you to everyone who ever worked on a music video that I got to be a part of,” Taylor Swift expressed.
“I learned something from every single person who worked alongside me on these projects,” she shared.
These people have ranged from actors to celebrity cameos to Oscar-winning cinematographers like Emmanuel Lubezki, who worked with her on the “Patient Zero” video.
“Mainly, I want to say thank you to the fans,” Swift emphasized.
“And,” she teased, “rather than say anything else … I would love to, if it’s okay with you, show you my latest music video.”
By the way, Swift also won Video of the Year for “The Fate of Ophelia.”
It’s not her strongest song but the music video is impressive and genuinely stunning.
(Is Troye Sivan’s “Party” better? Yes. Maybe it came out after the VMAs eligibility window.)
Swift has 14 Grammy awards, but it’s significant that she’s the first to take home the Artist Director Honors.
Not every singer can do that — and that’s okay. But it’s really cool that Swift can pull off so many parts of her vision, and that she has the resources to bring her vision to life.

Two teams that started the season undefeated tumbled, as the Seattle Seahawks snapped a league-leading 12-game winning streak with a loss to the Washington Commanders, and the Cincinnati Bengals also fell from the ranks of the unbeaten with a defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Buffalo Bills almost joined the list, but they overcame three Josh Allen turnovers in a come-from-behind victory over the hapless Los Angeles Chargers. The Las Vegas Raiders joined the Bills in the undefeated club, also picking up a comeback win over the New Orleans Saints. Some teams continue to surprise, like the 2-1 Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, while Super Bowl-contending teams like the 0-3 Houston Texans and the 1-2 New England Patriots are searching for answers again. Here are my overreactions for Week 3. The Chargers had their best defensive output of the season under new coordinator Chris O’Leary. Entering Sunday’s contest, Josh Allen hadn’t thrown an interception in his last 190 regular-season pass attempts, the longest active streak in the NFL. But the Chargers ended the streak by forcing two Allen interceptions, both secured by rookie defensive back Genesis Smith. Add in three Buffalo fumbles (one by Allen) and the Chargers totaled five takeaways. But the Chargers scored just 10 points off those miscues. Buffalo had lost 16 straight when committing at least five turnovers, with the last win coming in 1997 against Indianapolis. Playing quarterback for the Colts that day? Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers finished 1-for-4 in the red zone and managed just 13 points on offense. Since taking over the Bolts in 2024, Harbaugh-led teams are 20-2 when they score at least 20 points. But they’ve been unable to reach that mark in three games led by Mike McDaniel, considered one of the best offensive coordinators in the league. In fact, the Chargers have now scored fewer than 20 points in six straight games dating back to last season (regular and playoffs) — their longest streak since 1998. Herbert is playing his worst football since joining the Chargers in 2020, with career lows in completion percentage (59.3%), passer rating (71.6) and average passing yards per game (200.5). Conclusion: Not An Overreaction You can’t lose a game when the defense forces five turnovers. In one of the most critical moments of the game, Herbert once again fell short when his team needed a winning play. With his team in control of the game and driving to score up 13-10, Herbert tried to force a ball into double coverage to Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the back of the end zone. Instead, the ball was picked off by veteran defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who returned it close to midfield. Herbert was picked off once but could have thrown as many as three interceptions. Allen drove the Bills and scored the go-ahead touchdown, allowing Buffalo to escape with a victory even though he acknowledged afterward they did not deserve it. The play was a microcosm of Herbert’s time with the Chargers. He has fallen short in those situations more times than expected, including a 0-3 playoff record. The Chargers played well defensively, ran the ball for 131 yards on the road against one of the best teams in football. They just needed Herbert to play efficient, mistake-free football on offense. Instead, they turned the ball over, had another handful of head-scratching pre-snap penalties, dropped passes and a missed field goal by kicker Cameron Dicker, his second of the year. The Chargers don’t need heroics from their star quarterback — just competent play that leads to winning games. A strong consideration to win the league’s MVP award last year, Drake Maye has looked like a shell of himself so far this season. It started with a three-interception performance in the fourth quarter against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks to start the year. However, that has proven to not be a blip on the radar, but a trend that continued through the first quarter of the season. Maye finished with two interceptions and a lost fumble in an embarrassing 35-6 road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Maye has thrown a league-high six interceptions and just one touchdown through three games. Maye threw eight interceptions all last year. Maye’s 58.6 passer rating is the worst among qualifying passers this season. The second-worst? Herbert (73.4) Conclusion: Overreaction Maye certainly could benefit from better pass protection from a banged-up offensive line, but sometimes it helps young quarterbacks by giving them a breather so they can watch the game from the sidelines. Bryce Young certainly benefited from that approach from head coach Dave Canales with the Carolina Panthers a few years ago, and the Alabama product is now playing at a Pro Bowl level. The Patriots also had Maye start out his rookie season watching Jacoby Brissett play before putting him in the starting lineup in 2024. New England’s backup is Tommy DeVito, who’s 3-5 as a starter and would give the Patriots a chance to win if placed in the lineup. But Maye is the team’s franchise quarterback for a reason, and he needs to figure out how to work through this adversity at the start of his career. He has a better chance of breaking out while playing on the field instead of watching from the sideline. Also, Maye is missing his best receiver, A.J. Brown (ankle) out. Every year, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cranks up the hype train, tricking us into believing his team has a chance to compete for a Super Bowl after a three-decade absence. And every year the season starts and we realize that we’ve been hoodwinked again. This year, the Cowboys were supposed to have a much-improved defense to along with one of the best offenses in the league – a group infused with young talent and enthusiasm led by a new energetic defensive coordinator in Christian Parker. But through three games, consistent tackling has evaded the Dallas defense and (stop me if you’ve heard this before) the Cowboys can’t figure out how to stop the run.6 Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens hired defensive guru Jesse Minter to turn that side of the ball around. But through three games, the Ravens are allowing 26 points a contest. Conclusion: Not An Overreaction The Ravens needed a last-second 26-yard pass to Zay Flowers to set up a game-winning 56-yard field goal for a 34-31 win over the Cowboys in Brazil. It’s a tough way for Dallas to lose and once again shows the youth and injuries affecting the secondary for the Cowboys. The Dallas defense did have an impressive goal-line stand led by rookie linebacker Jayshawn Barham, but the Cowboys still struggled to stop the run, allowing the Ravens to rush for 192 yards on the ground. The Ravens didn’t fare much better in this shootout, giving up 415 total yards, including 148 on the ground against an explosive Cowboys offense. If both teams want to legitimately compete for a postseason berth later in the year, they need improved play from their defenses. With the Bills squeaking past the hopeless Chargers at home and the Seahawks and Bengals all falling on the road, the Chiefs have a claim to the title of best team in football. Yes, Kansas City struggled on the road against the worst team in football, the Miami Dolphins. But good teams find ways to win games when they aren’t playing their best. Kenneth Walker III continues to play well, finishing with 73 scrimmage yards and two scores. And Kansas City’s defense is holding opponents to 252.5 total yards per game, which is the third-best mark in the NFL. Conclusion: Not An Overreaction The Chiefs have rebounded from a disappointing 6-11 campaign last season by starting the year undefeated. Kansas City has benefited from an easier schedule, with back-to-back AFC West games against the Chargers and Raiders over the next two weeks. But the No. 1 reason the Chiefs are back has been the play of Patrick Mahomes, who has been efficient and is playing at an MVP level just nine months from returning from a season-ending ACL knee injury that required surgery. Davis Webb was promoted to offensive coordinator this offseason, taking over playcalling duties for head coach Sean Payton. Through three games, it’s been an up-and-down experience for quarterback Bo Nix and Denver’s offense. The Broncos did not score a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams until midway through the third quarter. Webb’s inability to consistently move the football put pressure on Denver’s defense, considered one of the best in the league. However, the Broncos’ offense got into a rhythm in the second half, scoring 23 points and earning a comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams. Conclusion: Overreaction Payton has served as one of the best offensive play-callers for most of his NFL coaching career. It’s one of the reasons he was hired as head coach of the Broncos, and something that has given him an edge in years past. While the second-half performance against one of the better defenses in the league generated confidence for Nix and the offense, it will be tough for Payton to not at least consider taking back play-calling duties because of the success he’s had with quarterbacks like Drew Brees in years past. So, Webb needs to string together another solid offensive performance for the return of Payton as the team’s play caller to go away as a talking point nationally. Aaron Rodgers looked like a four-time MVP winner in his team’s 30-27 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Rodgers threw for 292 yards, with three touchdown passes. His only blemish was an interception by Bengals safety Jordan Battle. Specifically, head coach Mike McCarthy and Rodgers finally figured out a way to push the ball down the field and loosen up an improved Cincinnati defense, finishing with five passing plays of at least 20 yards. Pittsburgh also got the running game going, with Jaylen Warren totaling 127 yards rushing on 17 carries. The reigning AFC North champs, the Steelers, now sit tied atop the division with the Browns at 2-1. Pittsburgh is traveling to Cleveland next week. Conclusion: Overreaction While the improved numbers are certainly a good sign for McCarthy and Rodgers, we need to see more. With the relationship between the head coach and veteran quarterback, though, it makes sense that Rodgers would figure out a way to make it work. Rodgers completed passes to nine different receivers. But the most important connection was a 6-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf, his first of the season. If the Steelers are going to consistently create explosive plays, Rodgers must figure out how to regularly get Metcalf the football. After victories over winless teams to start the year against the Dolphins and Chargers, the Raiders earned their most impressive triumph this season with a 35-27 road win over the New Orleans Saints. With the win, the Raiders are one of six undefeated teams to start the year. The decision to start veteran Kirk Cousins over Fernando Mendoza has proven the correct one for Las Vegas, as the Michigan State product has been surgical in his execution of head coach Klint Kubiak’s offense. Cousins threw for 248 yards and three scores; he has nine touchdowns on the year. The Raiders snapped a 39-game streak without reaching 30 points by scoring 35 against the Saints, per FOX Sports Research. Conclusion: Not An Overreaction The Raiders have not reached the playoffs since the 2021 season, the last time Las Vegas started the season 3-0. And they have a legitimate chance to compete for a spot in the postseason if they can continue at this pace. Las Vegas entered Week 3 with the second-most takeaways in the NFL (5) and added four more on Sunday. They also have one of the best defensive closers in edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who has 14 quarterback pressures and 1.5 sacks through three games. But the reason for success in the desert has been the change in culture by Kubiak off the field, creating a belief that Las Vegas can compete with anybody in the NFL.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
The Los Angeles Rams appeared to be cruising to a second victory in a row on the road against the Denver Broncos, but Bo Nix had other plans. The third-year quarterback authored a 30-point, second-half comeback to take a 30-26 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Dubbed the “Dream Team” before the start of the regular season because of blockbuster offseason moves for players like star pass-rusher Myles Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffee, the Rams dropped to 1-2 with the loss. Denver improved to 2-1. The Rams had one last chance from Denver’s 19-yard line, but Matthew Stafford’s attempt to Davante Adams was intercepted by safety Talanoa Hufanga, his second of the game. Denver’s offense was nowhere to be found in the first half. The Broncos were blanked on the scoreboard by L.A.’s defense while the Rams offense stayed on the field for most of the first two quarters. It was the same story as the first two weeks of the season. Denver has now scored 10 first-half points through its first three games this season. But that all changed in the second half, as Nix led his offense on back-to-back touchdown drives and successful two-point conversions, allowing Denver to tie the game at 16-all with two minutes left in the third quarter. On the game-winning drive, Nix and the Broncos benefited from two defensive penalties – a defensive pass interference on cornerback Josh Wallace where he appeared to intercept the ball, and then an illegal hands to the face on safety Quentin Lake – that allowed the drive to continue. Nix eventually scored on a quarterback sneak from a yard out for the victory. The Rams’ 38-year-old reigning MVP had a roller-coaster performance against one of the best defenses in the league in facing the Broncos. Stafford struggled against Denver’s dominant defensive front. When Stafford was blitzed, he was 11-of-23 for 204 yards, according to Next Gen Stats, with two touchdowns and two interceptions by Hufanga, including one returned 66 yards for a score. When Stafford faced any pressure, he was 5-of-18 for 70 yards and an interception. It was Stafford’s 33rd pick-six of his career, the most in NFL history. He was seen holding his elbow after that interception but didn’t miss any snaps. However, Stafford also finished with 390 passing yards and two TDs, including a 48-yard touchdown to wide receiver Konata Mumpfield that put Los Angeles up late in the fourth quarter. Stafford was helped by the running game. Running back Kyren Williams finished with 158 scrimmage yards and looked like the best player on the field at times, while Adams was excellent, as well. Stafford kept his team in the game and kept the pressure on Denver’s defense, but it ultimately wasn’t enough. Los Angeles played a second straight game without the team’s No. 1 receiver Puka Nacua, who sat out with a groin injury. Fortunately for the Rams, they have another elite receiver in Adams. Adams finished with 195 receiving yards and two touchdowns last week in a vintage performance against the Giants on Monday night. He followed that up with seven receptions for 138 yards matched up against one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, the Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II. Per Next Gen Stats, Adams against Surtain. Adams also got open deep twice on double moves against Surtain, but he was overthrown both times. Nacua has a chance to return to play next week, when the Rams head east to take on the Eagles. In Nacua’s absence, Adams has been productive in leading the passing offense, stepping up and filling the role of WR1 very well.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
