The existence of TeV scale vectorlike T-quarks required to provide adequate values for Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) parameters can also naturally account for the diphoton anomaly. Correlations between V-ub and V-cb with the vectorlike T-quark mass can be predicted. Should the diphoton anomaly survive in a future run, our proposed interpretation can also be tested in upcoming B and LHC studies. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.93.073009 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.08092 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.93.073009 %P 073009-5pp
