The Don Tony Show / Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite

Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show is back once again for WWE FASTLANE 2023 PREVIEW, PREDICTIONS & MORE, presented by BlueWire. DTKC run down the WWE Fastlane lineup, offer bold match predictions, and discuss what could follow leading into WWE Crown Jewel, Royal Rumble and even WrestleMania 40. Here is a brief synopsis of the matches and topics discussed during this episode: Seth Rollins (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Last Man Standing Match for World Heavyweight Championship): Shinsuke Nakamura has been fire in this feud. After weeks of leaving Seth Rollins laying though, Seth will again get revenge. The finish will not be clean, and Nakamura will come out of the match fine. DTKC believe Seth Rollins retaining will lead to an even tougher opponent who may take his Title: Drew McIntyre. Finn Bálor (c) & Damian Priest (c) vs Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso (Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship): DT predicted on Raw Post Show that Dominik Mysterio could regain NXT North American Championship. Judgement Day must all continue to carry Gold a bit longer. Balor/Priest retain, JD McDonough and Dominik will get involved. But will Jimmy Uso ultimately cost Cody/Jey the match? John Cena & LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa: John Cena will soon return to Hollywood but not before helping LA Knight solidify his elevation on SmackDown. The Bloodline will lose the match. But will it be due to Jey Uso and/or Cody Rhodes 'returning the favor' from earlier (see above)? Iyo Sky (c) vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair (WWE Women's Championship): Bayley adding Asuka to the match could backfire for Iyo Sky. DTKC curveball: Iyo could lose the Title without being pinned. Asuka could be pinned by Charlotte Flair, making her a 15x Women's Champion. LWO (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro) vs Street Profits & Bobby Lashley (Six Man Tag Team Match): Whatever LWO combination we get, Lashley and The Profits will beat the LWO and leave them laying. PLUS: DTKC think WWE should introduce Jade Cargill to WWE Universe with an appearance at WWE Fastlane. Have her be a guest on Grayson Waller Effect. She can even leave Austin Theory 'Jaded'. DTKC pitch the idea of adding Jade Cargill to the faction of Bobby Lashley and Street Profits. Imagine Judgment Day on one side of the ring and Lashley, Cargill and Street Profits on the other. Holy Sh*t chants would be aplenty from fans. Jimmy Uso vs Jey Uso as early as WWE Crown Jewel? Roman Reigns vs LA Knight at WWE Crown Jewel with John Cena in the corner of LA Knight? And more!

What predictions did DTKC nail, and which went in a totally different direction. ==== CLICK HERE to listen to WWE FASTLANE 2023 PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS online.

Q&A With Don Tony (EP84) 9/4/23, hosted by Don Tony and presented by BlueWire. Some Topics Discussed: Addressing media who called Don Tony ‘reckless' for stating Bray Wyatt not wearing his Cardiac Life Vest likely cost him his life What is your all-time favorite match featuring Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk? Who would have dethroned Roman Reigns If Cody Rhodes never returned to WWE? How likely would Roman Reigns have already lost the WWE and Universal Championships? And if dethroned sooner, would the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship (singular title) and even Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship have even been created? Which would give Cody better, grittier moment leading into WrestleMania 40: Winning 2024 Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber? Should AEW have an authority figure (not named Tony Khan) on AEW TV to help set up matches & storylines? Status of Carlito's WWE return and how should he be brought back to WWE TV Discussing the future of Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams on WWE Main Roster Should Adam Cole ultimately 'turn' on MJF, or the reverse? Following a solid 2022 but mediocre 2023, what is next for Austin Theory? Would Powerhouse Hobbs be main roster ready if he jumped to WWE? Or should he first have a run in NXT? Thoughts on Asuka's current run, WWE further tweaking her character, and how she has become much more interactive and vocal on social media about wrestling and the fans Plus: Dominik vs Rey II.. Rhea Ripley's next big feud.. Best Trish Stratus' rivals not named Lita.. Why WWE doesn't use Haku much on TV when bringing back legends.. Saudi Arabia throwing big bucks at Soccer..

Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite (8/30/2023) hosted by Don Tony and presented by BlueWire. Some Topics Discussed: CM Punk and Jack Perry suspended after backstage altercation at AEW All In: Perry choosing to embarrass Punk over being part of an historic and important wrestling event exposes a major underlying problem within AEW. Tony Khan authorizing Jack Perry to use Glass (Windshield) and not talking to him about the CM Punk matter beforehand is embarrassing and inexcusable.

Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show is back once again for WWE PAYBACK 2023 PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS, presented by BlueWire. DTKC run down the WWE Payback lineup, offer some bold match predictions, and discuss what could follow for several WWE Superstars leading into the Fall. WWE Payback comes less than a week after AEW All In, which has been overshadowed by an altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry. DTKC briefly discuss the incident and the terrible handling by AEW. Here is a brief synopsis of the matches and topics discussed during this episode: Seth Rollins (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (World Heavyweight Championship): Why the sudden extreme disdain from Shinsuke Nakamura towards Seth Rollins? Expect them to tear the house down at Payback despite a feud that feels forced, even a bit confusing. Could Seth Rollins' back issues lead to the crowning of a new World Heavyweight Champion? Kevin Owens (c) and Sami Zayn (c) vs Finn Bálor and Damian Priest (Steel City Street Fight for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship): Logic is thrown out the door. Why would Owens/Zayn who complain about Judgement Day always playing the numbers game, choose a stipulation that allows it to continue? For that reason alone, DTKC want to see new Tag Team Champions. Rhea Ripley (c) vs Raquel Rodriguez (Women's World Championship): This feud is just getting started and should continue into the fall. Expect Dirty Dom to get involved. Rey Mysterio (c) vs Austin Theory (United States Championship): Has WWE lost a little faith with Austin Theory? How will WWE lead Santos Escobar into an expected Title shot against Rey Mysterio? Could Escobar turn on Mysterio? LA Knight vs The Miz: Expect a good 'Knight' for LA. But also expect the feud to continue beyond Payback. Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus (Steel Cage Match): DTKC break down what has been the biggest problem with the Becky/Trish feud. Trish entering her first ever cage match, and an anticipated return of Lita will salvage what has been a very disappointing feud Grayson Waller Effect with Special Guest: Cody Rhodes: Expect Cody to go into Dusty Mode for the Pittsburgh crowd and get physical with Waller. An impromptu match could even go down between the two. PLUS: DTKC discuss the temporary pause of The Bloodline; John Cena's return to WWE TV; LA Knight earning a leadership role with WWE; Is Shayna Baszler the next feud for Becky Lynch; Shayna Baszler/Zoey Stark as a future Tag Team and much more! If you enjoy this episode, please share the links for this episode with others! This episode will be a fun listen even after WWE Payback. What predictions did DTKC nail, and which went in a totally different direction. ==== CLICK HERE to listen to WWE PAYBACK 2023 PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS online.
