After a six-year hiatus from the promotion, PAC returned to Dragon Gate on October 2, 2018, revealing to be the newest member of R.E.D, which had previously been teased by its leader Eita. PAC made his return match with Eita defeating Shingo Takagi and BxB Hulk, in one of Takagi's last matches in Dragon Gate. Afterwards, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, YAMATO, Hulk and Kzy, of MaxiMuM, Tribe Vanguard and Natural Vibes, respectively, appeared in the ring and challenged him to a match, which led the general manager Takayuki Yagi making a four-way six-man tag team match, where PAC and his R.E.D stablemates Ben-K and Big R Shimizu would represent R.E.D. On November 4 at Gate of Destiny, PAC made his singles return match defeating Flamita. Later that night, after Ben-K unsuccessfully challenged Masato Yoshino for the Open The Dream Gate Championship, PAC made his intentions of challenging Yoshino for the Open The Dream Gate Championship. On November 6, PAC's team won the match and he challenged Yoshino to an Open The Dream Gate Championship match, which was officially announced to take place on December 4. On December 4, PAC defeated Yoshino to win the Open The Dream Gate Championship. With the win, PAC became the first British Open The Dream Gate Champion. On June 8, after Ben-K won the King of Gate tournament, Ben-K confronted PAC and announced that he was the next challenger for the championship. PAC then proceded not to defend the Open The Dream Gate Championship in the rest of the year.

At the end of January, PAC began feuding with Kzy, who recently had a winning streak, with Kzy challenging PAC for the title. On February 10, PAC defeated Kzy to make his first successful title defense. After the match, Shun Skywalker, who recently won the Rookie Ranking Tournament, challenged PAC for the Open The Dream Gate Championship, PAC's R.E.D stablemate Eita did not accept his challenge, but PAC stopped him and accepted the challenge and was impressed of Skywalker not being scared, leading the General Manager Takayuki Yagi to make the match official at Champion Gate in Osaka. At the event, PAC retained the Open The Dream Gate Champion against Skywalker, following the match, PAC told Shun to go back to the dojo and questioned who would challenge him next. On April 13, PAC published a statement on his Twitter page, nominating Dragon Kid to be his next challenger for his Open The Dream Gate Championship at Dead or Alive or otherwise he would not come back to Dragon Gate. Kid who was surprised by PAC's challenge and accepted the match. The match was made official hours later. In February 2019, PAC had been caught in a turmoil between R.E.D members Eita and Big R Shimizu, with the stable being divided into their sides, with PAC aligning with Eita's side. On May 6, at Dead or Alive, PAC defeated Kid to retain the Open The Dream Gate Championship. Later that night at the event, after Shimizu lost the "Bonds" steel cage survival five-way match, Shimizu along with the rest of R.E.D turned on Ben-K, revealing that he was never planning on kicking Eita out, they were working together all this time, while also claiming that Eita was the leader. Leading to the King of Gate tournament, PAC was pulled out of the tournament due to being the reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion.

In late May, PAC was supposed to debut in the United States in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) against Hangman Page, at AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing on May 25; However, it was reported that the match was "canceled" and would no longer take place due to "creative differences" between Dragon Gate and AEW, whom PAC was in contract at the time.

On June 8, after Ben-K won the King of Gate tournament, Ben-K confronted PAC and announced that he was the next challenger for the championship. PAC felt disrespected by Ben-K after he did not challenge him in English. The General Manager Takayuki Yagi would announce the title match for the event, with this, PAC became the first *gaijin* to take part in the main event of the Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival event. The following day, R.E.D attacked Ben-K after his match, until Shun Skywalker made the save. Afterwards, Ben-K and Skywalker formed a team, in order to have backup against R.E.D. Ben-K vowed to open a new door to the next generation by defeating PAC. On July 21, at Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival, PAC lost the Open The Dream Gate Championship to Ben-K in the main event of the show, marking his last appearance for the promotion. During PAC's time in Dragon Gate, he would stay both undefeated in singles matches and overall unpinned and unsubmitted until his last match on July 21, 2019; during this period, he suffered only thirty defeats in 104 consecutive matches, the big majority of which were multiple or tag team matches in which a partner was pinned.

## Professional wrestling style and persona

PAC utilizes a corkscrew shooting star press, known as the "Black Arrow", after returning to Dragon Gate in November 2018. After turning into a villain in December 2016, PAC started using a double underhook crossface as a finisher, later called "The Brutalizer". During the first part of his career, he was known for his high flying style and aerial attacks, leading him to be often called "The Man That Gravity Forgot". However, after his villainous turn, PAC became known as "The Bastard", a character known for its arrogant and unstable personality, and for its viciousness and brutality inside the ring. Former wrestler and Hall of Famer Mark Henry assisted PAC in creating his villain character, including moments such as PAC going to the top rope to tease his "Black Arrow" move only to jump down without performing the move and lock in a submission to agitate the crowd.

In June 2015, Satterley got married to his long-term partner, Natalie. He is a supporter of his hometown football club Newcastle United. His favorite band is The Specials, and his ring name was a reference to one of their former band members, Neville Staple.
