Saddened to hear about the death of Ben Satterley known in @WWE
as Neville. I had the pleasure of working with Ben in the early days of @WWENXT. This moment, from NXT Arrival, marked the beginning of a new era for that brand and the men and women on it … and Ben was a major force behind that. He was an extraordinary talent and even kinder human being. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans across the world.
DRAGONGATE, a company where PAC performed throughout the mid-2000s, where he would later briefly return in 2018, also posted about his passing:
