Kenyan Brian Obuchi makes history after joining World Wrestling Entertainment TV production team

Kenyan broadcast professional Brian Obuchi has reached a major career milestone after working behind the scenes at a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) event as an EVS Replay Operator.

In a post shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Obuchi revealed that he was part of the live production team for WWE Crown Jewel, where he helped deliver instant replays and slow-motion footage during the wrestling event.

He described the experience as a significant moment in his broadcasting career, having grown up watching WWE from Kenya before getting the opportunity to work on one of its major productions.

“From being a watching fan in Kenya to working on a global WWE Crown Jewel production as an EVS Replay Operator. What a journey!” he wrote.

Obuchi also celebrated the event’s headline moment, in which Roman Reigns emerged victorious, saying he was proud to have contributed to the production.

Obuchi recalled growing up fascinated by WWE and watching some of its biggest stars, including The Rock, The Undertaker and John Cena, on television.

He said he never imagined that he would one day become part of the team responsible for bringing the action to viewers around the world.

“Growing up in Kenya, I watched WWE Wrestling on television, fascinated by legends like The Rock, The Undertaker and John Cena. Little did I know that one day I would go from watching these productions on TV to working behind the scenes of a major WWE event,” he said.

As an EVS Replay Operator, Obuchi works with broadcast technology used to select, manage, and deliver replays during live productions. The role allows key moments to be shown again, often in slow motion, giving viewers another look at important action in the ring.

He described being part of the live production team as an unforgettable experience and a proud achievement in his career.

The Multimedia University alumnus said the opportunity marked a personal journey from being a wrestling fan in Kenya to contributing to an international television production.

He also expressed pride in representing the country through his work. “From a WWE fan in Kenya to working on a global WWE production, what a journey! Proud to raise the Kenyan flag on the international stage,” he added.

His achievement highlights the range of opportunities available to Kenyan media and broadcast professionals beyond local television stations, including roles in the technical teams that produce major international sporting and entertainment events.
