Andrade’s comments section turned into a place of mourning Sunday night as fans flooded a post he had shared about PAC just hours earlier. After AEW announced Benjamin Satterley’s death at 40, fans began finding Andrade’s message about PAC becoming a future world champion—and the replies quickly filled with heartbreak.
Andrade posted Sunday morning following their match at AEW All Out on September 26, 2026, where he retained the National Championship against PAC. Roughly 12 hours before AEW’s announcement, Andrade was praising his opponent and talking about what could come next for him.
His message mixed respect for PAC with a jab at his faction: “This man @BASTARDPAC has to be a world champion in the future, but he needs to leave the Death Riders, just like I left Don Callis!” Andrade finished the post with “2-1”, keeping the competitive tone after their latest encounter.
By Sunday night, the conversation underneath that post had completely changed. Fans were reading those words about PAC’s future after learning of his death, and several made it clear how painful that timing was.
AGuyNamedJoe summed up that feeling with “Tears me up reading this”. Michael Luckett Jr. addressed discovering the post after the announcement, adding, “Am I really just now seeing this post after the news. 😓”
Other fans were struggling with the same experience of having Andrade’s earlier message appear on their timelines. Kevin Leo reacted with “Really Twitter?? Right now??”, while Sharman HIMsley added, “Bro, this is crazy”.
One of the longer replies came from Superbad5, who responded directly to Andrade’s prediction about PAC becoming a world champion. The fan’s message read, “I’m so sorry Andrew…..he will always be a world champion in our hearts……. RIP PAC 🙏💔🕊️”.
That sentiment sat alongside a stream of much shorter responses. Papahefe posted “fuck”, while the account named “iyo sky fan (#1 logan paul hater)” added, “Idk anymore”.
Several commenters could barely get beyond a word or two. Jake posted “man.” and Effie responded with “oh my god”, adding to the stunned reaction beneath Andrade’s message. JR Wrestling left “Oh—”, while bob posted “Fuck man 😢”. The fan account using the display name X PAC X added “Fml..” as more replies arrived.
Some fans also referenced the separate news about Sign Guy while reacting to PAC’s death. Mitch posted, “Pac and sign guy today. This is tough”, connecting the two losses in his response. W.A.R. Jr. made the same connection and shared a memory of watching wrestling years earlier. That comment read, “PAC and Sign Guy in the same day. I remember Sign Guy in WCW during the Monday Night Wars.”
Others let emojis carry their reactions. ABDIHASS posted “💔💔”, Prop added “💔”, and Ringo responded with “🙏🏾”.
Jas shared “😔💔🕊️”, while the fan account using the display name “☆Penta 0M☆” posted “💔💔💔”. MashedKeyboard added “❤️❤️❤️”, joining the tributes filling the thread. Sinisterhausen left the direct farewell “RIP Pac💔”. CenaFan89 posted “💔…” alongside an image of a tearful cat looking at a phone, while James replied with an emotional reaction image.
The words at the top of the thread made those responses especially difficult to read. Andrade had just shared the ring with PAC and was publicly backing him for an even bigger championship opportunity.
His post also quoted AEW’s promotion for their National Championship match, including a video featuring Renee Paquette before the bout. It was still a conversation about All Out, their rivalry and PAC’s next steps when Andrade originally shared it.
After AEW announced PAC’s passing, fans brought their grief to that same conversation. The replies show people reacting to both the loss itself and the jarring experience of reading a hopeful message written only hours before the announcement.
The cause of PAC’s death has not been revealed at this time. Ringside News will continue following the story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Andrade’s prediction about PAC’s future now sits above a comments section full of farewells. Fans who arrived to read praise from his opponent ended up leaving their own messages for a wrestler they weren’t ready to say goodbye to.
