Neo is clearly messing with the tounament to ensure that Cinders plan goes right.

Most likely it wasn't the audience seeing something different, but Neo showing an image of Mercury attacking to trick Yang into attacking a defenseless opponet. Others have already stated that since the sound effect is different, it's either Mercury's or Emerald's semblance. However, yes, that seems to be the case.
