Well Ruby did punch him in the abdomen, so maybe the WF goon was wearing some sort of combat armor? (they are going to war after all)

Well also I guess these are the more experienced mooks + Ruby's insecurities (due to being without her 'sweetheart') resulted in her getting curbstomped. Either way it drove home the point that team RWBY isn't invincible or overpowered. (or so it seems)

What do you think will happen to Ruby? I think Roman may play some kind of 'game', where its catch us (the criminals) or save Ruby from the bomb (or maybe use her as a hostage) Or... it could be darker :P (as people have previously alluded)
