Nobody said Wendy was weak. Wendy is just simply not as strong as many of the characters around her. Irene also said Wendy has impressive magical potential, but since Irene is more experienced than she is, she can simply draw it out, whereas Wendy by herself obviously cannot. And Irene isn't heavily weakened. She has a cut on her head. The fight will still just finish as terribly as we all knew it eventually would, deep down inside.
