Maybe one of the Higgsless models??

The EW theory has successively predicted neutral currents, and the W and Z bosons, all based on a Higgs mechanism for symmetry breaking.
If the Higgs mechanism is wrong, the theory has been able to fluke the predictions.
That is more incomprehensible than the theory itself, considered to be one of the most mathematically challenging theories around.
