In 2003 , the event 's pay-per-view slot was replaced by Bad Blood . The tournament endured a four-year hiatus until its return in 2006 as an exclusive tournament of the SmackDown brand . The tournament returned as an inter-brand occurrence for both SmackDown and Raw in 2010 and 2019 . King of the Ring was a tri-branded tournament , also featuring ECW wrestlers , in 2008 and a non-branded tournament in 2015 ( the original brand extension ended in 2011 ) .

Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee , and the county seat of Knox County . As of the 2010 census , the city has a population of 178,874 , and is Tennessee 's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis . Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area , which was 868,546 in 2015 . First settled in 1786 , Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee . The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century . The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom . During the Civil War , the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue , and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies . Following the war , Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center . The city 's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed , the downtown area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights . Hosting the 1982 World 's Fair helped reinvigorate the city , and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city , especially the downtown area . Knoxville is the home of the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee , whose sports teams , the Tennessee Volunteers , are popular in the surrounding area . Knoxville is also home to the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority , the Tennessee Supreme Court 's courthouse for East Tennessee , and the corporate headquarters of several national and regional companies .

The Money in the Bank ladder match is a multi-person ladder match held by the professional wrestling promotion WWE . First contested at WWE 's annual WrestleMania event beginning in 2005 , a separate Money in the Bank pay-per-view was established in 2010 . The prize in the match is a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match , which can be cashed in by the holder of the briefcase at any point in the year following their victory . If the contract is not used within the year of winning it , it will be invalid , but this has yet to happen . From its inception until 2017 , ladder matches only involved male wrestlers , with the contract being for a world championship match . Beginning with the 2017 event , women also have the opportunity to compete in such a match , with their prize being a contract for a women 's championship match . The first match was contested in 2005 at WrestleMania 21 , after being invented by Chris Jericho . At the time , it was exclusive to wrestlers of the Raw brand , and Edge won the inaugural match . From then until WrestleMania XXVI , the Money in the Bank ladder match , now open to all WWE brands , became a WrestleMania mainstay . 2010 saw a second and third Money in the Bank ladder match when the Money in the Bank pay-per-view debuted in July with WrestleMania no longer featuring the match . Unlike the matches at WrestleMania , this new event included two such ladder matches - one each for a contract for a WWE Championship match and a World Heavyweight Championship match , respectively . Before the establishment of the annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view , wrestlers were allowed to use the contract to claim a match for any world championship in WWE .

New Jersey is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Northeastern United States . It is bordered on the north and east by the state of New York ; on the east , southeast , and south by the Atlantic Ocean ; on the west by the Delaware River and Pennsylvania ; and on the southwest by the Delaware Bay and the State of Delaware . New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state by area but the 11th-most populous , with 9 million residents as of 2017 and an area of 8,722.58 square miles , making it the most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states , with its biggest city being Newark . New Jersey lies completely within the combined statistical areas of New York City and Philadelphia . New Jersey was the second-wealthiest U.S. state by median household income as of 2017 . New Jersey was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years , with historical tribes such as the Lenape along the coast . In the early 17th century , the Dutch and the Swedes founded the first European settlements in the state . The English later seized control of the region , naming it the Province of New Jersey after the largest of the Channel Islands , Jersey , and granting it as a colony to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley , 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton . New Jersey was the site of several important battles during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century . In the 19th century , factories in the cities Camden , Paterson , Newark , Trenton , Jersey City , and Elizabeth ( known as the Big Six ) , helped drive the Industrial Revolution . New Jersey 's geographic location at the center of the Northeast megalopolis , between Boston and New York City to the northeast , and Philadelphia , Baltimore , and Washington , D.C. , to the southwest , fueled its rapid growth through the process of suburbanization in the second half of the 20th century . At the turn of the 21st century , this suburbanization began reverting with the consolidation of New Jersey 's culturally diverse populace toward more urban settings within the state , with towns home to commuter rail stations outpacing the population growth of more automobile-oriented suburbs since 2008 .
