Enjoy this episode of The Sit-Down w/Don Tony streamed LIVE Sunday September 13, 2026. Running Time: 3 Hours 13 Minutes. Synopsis for this episode is posted below. When WWE charges fans thousands—and in some cases tens of thousands—for ringside seats, a run-of-the-mill DQ finish just isn't going to cut it. On tonight's show, DT connected the dots on WWE World Title changes across 2026, from Berlin and Mexico City to massive stadium gates. DT broke down the numbers to expose the corporate reality behind the booking: TKO used historic title switches in 2026 as high-priced customer satisfaction insurance to justify exorbitant ticket prices. DT addressed Stephanie Vaquer regaining the WWE Women's World Championship and explained why her run might end up being MUCH SHORTER than people think. DT also discussed Sami Zayn regaining the Undisputed WWE Championship and broke down a major problem WWE was currently facing on SmackDown. From there, we had to get into Jonathan Coachman embarrassing himself yet again. The self-proclaimed "media veteran" who loved lecturing everyone on real journalism got completely baited by an obvious parody account. We covered Coach's rant, the well-deserved roasting he took from fans and peers, and his laughable "I was in on the joke the whole time" backtrack. More importantly, DT exposed the much bigger issue in today's wrestling media landscape that allowed blatant BS to gain traction and go viral in the first place. All that, plus: thoughts on TripleMania 34 Night One, predictions and reactions for Night Two, Damian Priest turning on R-Truth, WWE/AEW/Pro Wrestling talk, the live Q&A, and more! 🎤The Sit-Down with Don Tony is a live interactive discussion show about pro wrestling that streams every SUNDAY night at 8:05PM ET. We cover everything going on in the world of pro wrestling (AEW, WWE/NXT, TNA, old school and more). We also discuss non-wrestling topics, sports and news. Nothing is ever out of bounds, and the entire show is 100% interactive.
