But if confirmed it would challenge the Standard Model , which is the long-time foundation of particle physics (and in a sense all physics).
The Higgs Boson discovery was so important because it was a prediction of the Standard Model that hadn't been directly confirmed. We're REALLY sure the Standard Model describes the observable universe pretty well. If we're wrong about that a lot of derivative theories would have to change.
