There won't be any WWE donations. The McMahons are funding the campaign using personal funds and have been; primarily given the WWE's involvement in the "Rock the Vote" movement which would then be seen as a conflict of interest if the WWE in turn funded a private candidate. Remember that the WWE is a publicly held company now.

Highly unlikely.
In the U.S. they have something called "Equal coverage" which means if WWE mentions Linda McMahon gets mentioned on TV, it will be seen as free press so that Linda's competition will also have to get airtime as well.
Bright side. Thanks to new Supreme Court ruling, WWE can spend TONS of money on Linda now!@!
