User blog comment:NJGW/Ranking the Reboot/@comment-4700688-20181107095538

It only just occurred to me that the ranking criteria of this series has been the average score based upon the battle ratings. I thought it was just supplementary, but upon further inspection, every episode has a higher score than the last, based on its fights only. It's no wonder you overrated World Series Ep 2 and had a write-up which ignored the painful format/narrative and only talked about the fight quality.

This does pose a problem for Series 10 Heat C, as it now means you've artificially inflated its position by not including Track-tion vs Vulture. The battle didn't happen, but it was supposed to, and a few minutes of airtime were still spent leading up to the "fight" - I see no choice but to give it a 0/10 and factor it into the average. I would have the episode at ten-ish in my own ranking, but if fight average is the only criteria...
