PAC, who is currently a wrestler for AEW, was known as Neville in WWE. While he was on the Black and Gold brand, he defeated Bo Dallas at NXT Arrival in 2014 in a Ladder Match to become the fourth NXT Champion.

Before he became an NXT Champion, PAC was also a former NXT Tag Team Champion having defeated The Wyatt Family to win the titles along with his tag team partner and fellow British Superstar Oliver Grey where they were known as British Ambition. He won the tag titles for a second time with current WWE SmackDown commentator Corey Graves when he was a Superstar in NXT.

This also made PAC the first person to hold the NXT Tag Team Championship and the NXT Championship. He later got drafted to WWE RAW where he impressed the WWE Universe with his high-flying aerial attacks.

'The Man That Gravity Forgot' later won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship twice and created a record by being the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion.

PAC then left WWE in 2018 due to a dispute in contract following which he signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019. Since making his debut on AEW, PAC has had feuds with Hangman Page, Kenny Omega and most recently Orange Cassidy whom he defeated at AEW Revolution.
