      After setting Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's private house on fire, anti-government protesters, who occupied the PM's official residence on Sunday, found innovative and amusing ways to claim the space.

      In a video that has gone viral, protesters can be seen mock-wrestling on the PM's bed with WWE wrestling commentary edited to background.

      They can be seen pinning each other down as they imitate the wrestlers inside a WWE ring.

      The video, which was originally posted by Twitter user "Sri Lanka Tweet", has received thousands of views so far.
