So after reading a few biographies and watching a few interviews WWE durring the mid 90s to attitude era was very off the cusp and title reigns/challenges and winners were sometimes announced the same night they happened.
For example in Chris Jerichos book he himself wasn't told directly he was going to win the undisputed championship, and only heard by hearsay and overheard vince talking to the undertaker about it saying "you know WWE is going to the dogs when where giving the title to Jericho"
Jericho also was surprised when he told he was going to have the title taken off him by HHH and only found out last minute.
I just imagine that nowadays things are a lot more strict and defined for example CM Punk where going to give you the title for half a year + etc, I also imagine CM Punk has a general idea of how, were and when hes going to lose the title.
I just cant imagine that total spontaneity they had back then been so prominent nowadays, it assume it probably does but not so much on the world title level.
