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.

On Sunday, thousands of irate protesters on Saturday stormed into embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s official residence in central Colombo's high-security Fort area after breaking the barricades, as they demanded his resignation over the island nation's worst economic crisis in decades.
