Why would revealing Pyrrha's semblance be a slam? Everyone seems to have this idea that Pyrrha is embarassed by her semblance or something, like she feels that if people knew about it, they would not find her victories valid or something.

Pyrrha uses her semblance like anyone else and as far as we know the only reason she doesn't tell people regularly is because it gives her an advantage from a  psychological standpoint explained by Mercury. Simply exposing her semblance wouldn't be enough.

They would need to knock Pyrrha out of the tounament by crippling her or jsut using their knowledge of her semblance to come up with a way to dodge its effects, like avoiding usage of metal.
