The dramatic bout between Tiger and Vito took a dramatic turn after two foreign wrestlers came inside the ring and tried to thrash Tiger. But both Vito and Tiger thrashed and threw them outside the ring.
Meanwhile, the match fixture came on the stage and a tag team match comprising the team of Vito and Tiger versus the two foreign wrestlers was held. Tiger-Vito team won the tag team bout.

Tiger, however, has vowed to beat Vito in another bout scheduled to be held in Pokhara on March 4.
Other foreigner wrestlers were from Japan, Australia, the UK and Canada.
The event was jointly organized by Professional Wrestling Entertainment Championship Nepal, Golden Cine Entertainers Privet Limited and Nepal Players and Instructors Association.
