And if it's ATLAS it's probably a spin-0 particle, which means another kind of Higgs which was also "kind-of" expected (or was imaginable). And finding it doesn't negate everything found up to now. The chance to find new particles is exactly why the experiments are done -- we have to observe something new to make a real progress in that area.
However, CMS saw something like a spin-2 particle, but with less certainty, so their claim can be just a wishful thinking if ATLAS comes close to the 5 sigma?
