WWE has assembled a nearly 40-minute memorial video, bringing together friends and colleagues of the late PAC (Benjamin Satterley) to share heartfelt memories of his life and career. Following his shocking passing, WWE honored the former Neville with on-air tributes and graphics last week. The newly released video features those who knew him best reflecting on his immense impact, with contributions from Kevin Owens, Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Bayley, Sami Zayn, Big Cass, Penta & Rey Fenix, TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd), William Regal, Finn Balor, and Corey Graves.
In the video, William Regal shared a deeply personal tribute, saying, “With the exception of my family, there’s maybe less than a handful of people in the world I thought more of than Ben. He was the best, he was the absolute best. My deepest condolences, especially to Natalie (PAC’s wife) and his family. I’ll miss you forever, pal.”
Finn Balor, one of PAC’s closest friends, used his segment to send a direct message to his late friend: “Hey mate, I just want to say: thanks for being a friend. I’ll never forget meeting you for the first time on some wrestling mats in the basement of a church in Newcastle when we were just kids. And from there, we went on to be such great friends. From our nights out in Japan, to our time together in NXT, to traveling the world together with WWE, to visiting my parents in Ireland, to visiting your wife and your mum in Newcastle and having cups of tea together.
“I think our bond was so strong because we had such similar upbringings, such similar values. We’d have the craic about the football, we talked about ‘Father Ted,’ we talked about pretty much everything except for wrestling. And you’ll be with me everywhere we go. And like we would always say, ‘What a laugh, mate.’ What a laugh I had with you. I can’t thank you enough. I love you, Ben.”
A central theme of the tribute is that while PAC was one of the most highly respected in-ring competitors in the industry, he was equally loved as a humble, quiet individual who possessed a vibrant personality—loving dancing, ska, and reggae music.
Sami Zayn expressed his deep gratitude, saying, “I just love you, bro. I’ll never forget you. I’ll never forget the memories we had. Thank you. Just, thank you. Thank you. You know, that’s what I don’t know if I ever really got to express to you. I told you I loved you, you told me you loved me. We knew the brotherhood, we knew the bond, we knew all that stuff. But I don’t think I ever got to thank you. So thanks, man. Thank you, buddy. Thanks for everything.”
Kevin Owens reflected on the double tragedy of losing PAC alongside “The Butcher” Andy Williams, expressing the difficulty of the wrestling world experiencing such back-to-back losses. “When somebody leaves us, we always say, ‘They’re going to a better place. They’re in a better place.’ But from everything I’ve heard about Andy and everything I know about Ben, I’d say they’re the ones making it a better place now,” Owens noted.
Cody Rhodes revealed that it was Owens’ idea to set up a camera backstage at SmackDown to capture these tributes, originally intending them as a private video for PAC’s family, though they eventually became a public tribute.
