Andrade’s comments section turned into a place of mourning Sunday night as fans flooded a post he had shared on PAC just hours earlier. After AEW announced the death of Benjamin Satterley at age 40, fans began to uncover Andrade’s message about PAC becoming a future world champion – and the responses were quickly heartbreaking.
Andrade posted Sunday morning after their match at AEW All Out on September 26, 2026, where he retained the National Championship against PAC. About 12 hours before AEW’s announcement, Andrade was praising his opponent and talking about what could happen to him next.
His message mixed respect for the PAC and attack against its faction: “This man @BASTARDPAC must be a world champion in the future, but he must leave the Death Riders, just like I left Don Callis!” Andrade ended the message with “2-1”keeping the competitive tone after their last meeting.
By Sunday evening, the conversation under this post had completely changed. Fans were reading these words about PAC’s future after learning of his death, and several made it clear how painful the moment was.
AGuyNamedJoe summed up this sentiment with “It’s heartbreaking to read this”. Michael Luckett Jr. addressed the discovery of the post after the announcement, adding: “Did I really just see this post after the news. 😓”
Other fans were dealing with the same experience of seeing Andrade’s previous post pop up on their timelines. Kevin Leo reacted with “Really Twitter?? Right now??”while Sharman HIMsley added: “Brother, it’s crazy”.
One of the longest responses came from Superbad5, who directly responded to Andrade’s prediction that PAC would become world champion. The fan’s message read, “I’m so sorry Andrew…..he will always be a world champion in our hearts……. RIP PAC 🙏💔🕊️”.
This feeling was accompanied by a stream of much shorter responses. Papahefe posted “Fuck”while the account named “iyo sky fan (#1 logan paul hater)” added: “I don’t know anymore”.
Several commenters were barely able to say more than a word or two. Jake posted “man.” and Effie responded with “oh my God”adding to the stunned reaction under Andrade’s post. JR Wrestling is gone “Oh-“while Bob was posting “Fuck dude 😢”. Fan account using display name X PAC X added “Fml. » as more responses came in.
Some fans also referenced separate news regarding Sign Guy when reacting to PAC’s death. Mitch posted, “Pac and sign a guy today. It’s tough.”connecting the two losses in his response. WAR Jr. made the same connection and shared the memory of watching wrestling years earlier. This comment said, “PAC and Sign Guy on the same day. I remember Sign Guy in WCW during the Monday Night Wars.”
Others let emojis convey their reactions. ABDIHASS posted “💔💔”Accessory added “💔”and Ringo responded with “🙏🏾”.
Jas shared “😔💔🕊️”while the fan account using the display name “☆Penta 0M☆” was posted “💔💔💔”. MashedKeyboard added “❤️❤️❤️”joining the tributes that fill the thread. Sinisterhausen said a direct farewell “RIP Pac💔”. CenaFan89 posted “💔…” alongside an image of a crying cat looking at a phone, while James responded with an emotional reaction image.
The words at the top of the thread made these replies particularly difficult to read. Andrade had just shared the ring with PAC and was publicly supporting him for an even bigger championship opportunity.
His post also cited AEW’s promotion for their national championship match, including a video featuring Renée Paquette before the fight. It was still a conversation about All Out, their rivalry and PAC’s next steps when Andrade initially shared it.
After AEW announced PAC’s passing, fans expressed their grief in that same conversation. The responses show people reacting to both the loss itself and the overwhelming experience of reading a message of hope written just hours before the announcement.
PAC’s cause of death has not been released at this time. Ringside News will continue to follow the story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Andrade’s prediction about PAC’s future now sits atop a comments section full of farewells. Fans who came to read his opponent’s praise ended up leaving their own messages for a wrestler they weren’t ready to say goodbye to.
