It took me a while (several attempts) but you (we) are making this more 
complicated than necessary and defeating the purpose in the process, try 
this:

for i in *.srt; do echo File: \"$i\" ; cat -n "$i" ; done

or

for i in *.srt; do echo File: "$i" ; cat -n "$i" ; done

(Note the complete absence of escaping in the above).
