AEW will pay tribute to PAC in a special edition of AEW Dynamite tonight, following his death at age 40.
Tonight’s AEW Dynamite will air live from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, September 30. The show will air on TBS in the United States and MyAEW.com internationally.
AEW President Tony Khan announced earlier this week that the episode will be dedicated to PAC, real name Benjamin Satterley, who passed away on Sunday, September 27.
Khan made the announcement ahead of Monday’s Ring of Honor tapings, where he also told the audience that AEW and ROH wrestlers working this week were doing so voluntarily and could take time away if needed.
Two matches have been announced for tonight’s tribute show.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay will face Ricochet in a non-title match specifically announced in honour of PAC.
Both men shared extensive history with Satterley during their careers. Ricochet and PAC famously wrestled one another in Dragon Gate more than a decade ago, including a series of matches over the Open the Brave Gate Championship in 2011.
Ospreay also became one of PAC’s notable rivals, including matches in RevPro and AEW. The pair most recently met on the April 1 episode of Dynamite.
When announcing Ospreay against Ricochet, Khan described the pair as two of PAC’s “iconic rivals” and said the match would be held in honour of their friend.
Pittsburgh native Britt Baker will also compete in her hometown.
Baker will team with AEW TBS Champion Persephone against Hyan and Thunder Rosa. The match was originally announced before PAC’s passing and will remain part of tonight’s card.
The appearance continues Baker’s return to regular AEW competition after a lengthy absence from the ring.
AEW Dynamite Lineup For Tonight
The announced lineup for tonight’s special PAC tribute episode of AEW Dynamite is as follows:
- Will Ospreay vs. Ricochet
- Tag Team Match: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. & Persephone vs. Hyan & Thunder Rosa
- AEW is also expected to honour PAC throughout the broadcast after his passing just one day after he competed at All Out 2026.
