The People’s Champion reacted to this report by commenting on Clutch Wrestling’s Instagram post covering it. He wrote:
“you’re right brother, and humanity matters to me. I was born into this business and I’ve seen it all, but when one of our own passes away, I don’t care nor do I see “our competition”, I care about the wrestlers and how it affects them. I’ve been there. To me, humanity matters most.”

The Final Boss also shared a heartfelt tribute to the Death Riders member.
“Hurts my heart, and sending my condolences, love, light and mana to the Satterley family. Despite pro wrestling being globally popular, it’s energy is still that of very unique subculture and breed of passionate performers who support each other because we all know the daily hardships and the nightly pressures of chasing squared circle dreams. Stay strong, Satterley family. And “thank you for the house,” he wrote.
