WWE Network & UFC, Jericho & Miz Attend Concert, More

- The New York Times reports that Linda McMahon will officially announce her 2012 Senate bid in the next week. Linda spent $50 million of her own money on the failed 2010 campaign. Sources close to Linda's campaign report that this time, she plans to raise money from private donors instead of depending strictly on her own money. One of the reasons Linda is taking this approach this time is because last year, she received criticism that she was using her wealth to buy a Senate seat. Linda has been interviewing people for her campaign and reaching out for support to top Republicans over the past few weeks. Someone close to Linda said, "The response has been strong."

- Chris Jericho and The Miz were in attendance for the Def Leppard concert in Universal City, California on Thursday night. The Miz noted on Twitter that Maryse gave him his tickets to the show as an early birthday present.

- WWE reportedly announced the new WWE Network early in-part because they were concerned that UFC would announce plans to start their own network first. Ever since UFC signed with FOX, they've lost all interest in doing their own channel. While WWE usually acts like UFC isn't competition publicly, word is that Vince McMahon isn't happy with several recent UFC moves including their plan to run a 100,000 seat stadium in Brazil next year.
