Ryan is asking for three of the women who accused him to pay for these lost revenues for each month since June 21st when he shut down Bar Wrestling and left Twitter in the wake of the allegations. Ryan was officially released from Impact Wrestling several days later. Over a dozen women in total accused Ryan of sexual misconduct, and it's unclear why only three are named in his lawsuit.
