  We consider a minimal nonlinearly realized electroweak theory where mass
generation happens \`a la Stueckelberg. Deformation of the nonlinearly realized
gauge symmetry is controlled by functional methods. The Weak Power Counting
allows to select uniquely the Hopf algebra of the theory and gives definite
predictions on the Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) sector of the theory: the
latter includes one CP-odd and two charged physical scalars (in addition to the
Higgs-like CP-even resonance). The model interpolates between a purely
Stueckelberg and a Higgs scenario. It can be used in order to check whether the
presence of a Stueckelberg mass component can already be excluded on the basis
of the existing LHC7-8 data.
