Kenyan Brian Obuchi Joins WWE Television Production Team
Kenyan broadcast professional Brian Obuchi has made a major career breakthrough after joining the television production team of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as an EVS replay operator.
The Multimedia University alumnus shared his excitement in a video posted on Saturday, November 7, 2026, giving followers a glimpse of the production equipment and the wrestling stage.
Obuchi revealed that he was part of the crew responsible for delivering WWE’s live broadcasts, describing the opportunity as a special moment in his career.
He also expressed pride in representing Kenya, describing himself as the first Kenyan to work in live wrestling production.
What Does Brian Obuchi Do at WWE?
As an EVS replay operator, Obuchi works behind the scenes to ensure television audiences do not miss important moments during live wrestling events.
His responsibilities involve operating specialised broadcast equipment used to capture, select and replay footage from different camera angles.
The technology allows production teams to show instant replays and slow-motion footage of significant moments, including major moves and other highlights inside the wrestling ring.
In his video, Obuchi demonstrated the EVS equipment and explained how it is used to produce replays and slow-motion sequences.
The role requires concentration, precision and coordination with other members of the live production crew.
From Watching WWE to Working Behind the Scenes
For Obuchi, the achievement carries special meaning because he grew up watching professional wrestling from Kenya.
He recalled following legendary WWE performers such as John Cena, The Undertaker and The Rock before eventually getting an opportunity to work behind the scenes of the global entertainment production.
In his video, he reflected on how his relationship with wrestling had changed from being a television viewer to becoming part of the team delivering the action to audiences.
He described the experience as a major personal achievement and expressed pride in raising the Kenyan flag through his work.
A Proud Moment for Kenyan Media Professionals
Obuchi’s achievement highlights the opportunities available to Kenyan media and broadcasting professionals beyond local television and production companies.
While wrestling superstars receive much of the attention, live broadcasts depend on skilled technical teams working behind cameras and production desks to deliver the experience to viewers.
His new role demonstrates how technical expertise in television production can open doors to international entertainment and sports industries.
For a Kenyan who once followed WWE as a fan, becoming part of its live production team represents a remarkable career journey and a moment of national pride.
