That's not a good idea and would be stupid on RT's part to make it like that. You can't put something as important as that in a character short. Big events like this shouldn't be in media that people don't watch.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but a large portion of people skip trailers when it comes to shows. You have no idea how many people skipped the Trailers shrugging them as "meh, it's just a trailer". Seriously, the Trailers are the best thing in RWBY until like episode 8 and then the season finale. I'm actually seriously pissed at whoever got the idea to call them trailers and not something more accurate like "prologues" or "character shorts". Maybe then more people would watch them and be wowed at how cool RWBY can be and not just watch the first few episodes and quit. (Ruby's mom? wtf? What is that knight? Who the hell is that new red and black character? Yang looking for her mom? What?)

Not to mention that a lot of places where peple watch RWBY don't even show the trailers or the WoR leaving people confused. Heck, so many people don't watch the WoR and then bitch about how things "weren't explained" or "came out of nowhere".

You want to tease and hype the people who are really in love with RWBY. Not screw over and confuse the ones wo aren't and just watch casually.

Sorry for being bitchy, I recently had a conversation about this with someone and got really upset over it. >.>

These are just my thoughts though. For all I know maybe the season will start with Weiss already crashed and getting attacked by Grimm while the rest of the crew is getting attacked by pirates or something. But having it in a teaser short would just confuse the people who don't understand that RWBY and RvB trailers actually feature important canon events ...
