They're all supposed to be able to contend (I'm using "contend" because clearly, some Spriggan 12 members are stronger than others) with God Serena, yet we have Laxus nerfed so that his fight with Wahl is difficult. Erza however, was gonna die in her fight with Ajeel. She caught him off-guard with an elemental advantage, but if it weren't for Bisca, she would have undoubtedly died. She was halfway there, anyway, when he started mummifying her.
