Following the unfortunate news that Benjamin Satterley, known to the wrestling world as PAC, had passed away last week, this past Wednesday's "AEW Dynamite" was dedicated to his life, and AEW President Tony Khan was reportedly adamant that the entire show wasn't interrupted by any promotional material."He made the call to do no promotion, no angles for the pay-per-view," Dave Meltzer shared on the "Wrestling Observer Radio." "No promotion on the pay-per-view. No promotion for 'Collision' on Saturday. I don't think he even mentioned a match for Saturday. Pretty much everything that was on the show was not planned to be on the show. That was all redone. So I believe what he had planned for the show is stuff that will be on 'Collision' Saturday and in France on Tuesday and they have to essentially speed everything up."AEW delivered a beautiful tribute show for PAC on Wednesday, which included many of the company's stars reflecting on their real-life friend, but also several moments that were specifically curated for him throughout the night. In addition to Will Ospreay and Ricochet's match being a love letter to PAC and Jon Moxley's emotional promo about life, Bryan Danielson came out of retirement in what was the most shocking moment of the night.This past Saturday's "AEW Collision" did feature the continuation of the company's weekly storylines, with stars like Jon Moxley, Mercedes Mone and Samoa Joe all being on the show. This week, "Dynamite" and "Collision" will be held from Paris, France for the first time ever for AEW Grand Slam France.If you use any of the quotes in this article, please credit "Wrestling Observer Radio" with a h/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription.
