I'm not entirely sure what happened there. Don't know if it was Neo's doing or somebody else. Neo is a relatively new character, so perhaps not her. What I am relatively sure of was there was a semblance usage involve there, since we heard the effect. Notably, Yang's perspective showed her much further away from Mercury than the cameras and the arena did, and this was before the semblance activation, implying illusion. However, I really don't think Mercury expected that, given his expression when Yang stood back up in the fight, as well as the fact that he literally got his leg broken. If he was in on that part of the plan then estimations of his character are miles off.
