Again, cliche, but it's one way they could make it happen.

That or the only reason Weiss was fighting Emerald in the Opening was because the others all had matches with someone connected to them and Weiss got the leftover. Or(and this is a crazy thought), they always planned a Winter/Atlas Vs Cinder, Weiss vs Emerald, Merc/Tyrian vs Ruby/Qrow fight as a big set-piece fight this season and threw together the fight in that opening as a hint for a fight they hoped to make.
