I believe I have a quite unorthodox theory:

1) Emerald messes with Pyrrha throughout the match and makes it seem like Pyrrha is not a very good fighter. Pyrrha wins, but is messed up emotionally such that she uses her semblance on Penny clearly, indicating to the world that Pyrrha's semblance is polarity, that Penny is a robot, and that Pyrrha overreacted. This would be to the same effect of Mercury's "performance." Pyrric Victory.

2a)  Ruby gets seriously injured by Mercury when she tries to run away because Mercury reveals his own semblance...or something.  Ruby is found/saved by someone and is a coma herself. Pyrrha refuses to become the Fall Maiden, and the Brotherhood tries to transfer Amber's aura to Ruby in order to revive her, revealing that Ruby was the second choice to become the Maiden anyway.

OR

2b) Pyrrha is so distraught that she claims she doesn't want to be herself anymore and goes through with becoming the Maiden. Her personality changes drastically and takes on some of Amber's memories, such as the identities of Cinder and Co. Ruby gets away and tells Ozpin/Crow/Team RWBY about what she has dicovered.

I also have another one:

1) Ruby gets away and tries to stop the fight...chaos ensues.

Thoughts?
