The villains' conversation makes it sound like Ruby isn't actually that powerful for a Silver-Eyed Warrior just yet, to be honest.

Watts: Well, the girl with the Silver Eyes.

Hazel: Yes. We’ve dealt with their kind before. How is it a novice was able to best one of us?

Watts: My thoughts exactly. Even without her new power, it should have been effortless.

"How is it a novice was able to best one of us?" - Hazel is referring to Ruby as a novice and saying that it's strange that Ruby was able to best Cinder

"Even without her new power, it should have been effortless." - Watts is saying that, even without the Fall Maiden's power, it should've been effortless for Cinder to defeat Ruby.

Salem told them that it's specifically because of Cinder's attainment of the Fall Maiden powers that Ruby was able to beat her.

It's not that Ruby is super powerful, it's that Cinder is now weak against SEWs in general.
