  The CMS Collaboration has published two different searches for new physics
that contain possible hints for excesses in $eejj$ and $e\nu jj$ final states.
Interpreting those hints as a possible signal of a right-handed gauge boson
$W_R$ with mass 2-2.5~TeV may have profound implications for our understanding
of the gauge structure of nature and Grand Unification, the scalar sector
accessible at the LHC, neutrino physics, and the baryon asymmetry of the
Universe. We show that this interpretation is, indeed, consistent with all
existing constraints. However, before making premature claims we propose a
number of cross-checks at the LHC14 that could confirm or falsify this
scenario. Those include searches for a $Z_R$ resonance and the related new
scalar sector around 6-7~TeV. Additionally, large effects in top-quark
spin-asymmetries in single top production are possible.
