Worth noting is the fact that the episode went against a very well-rated &#8220;Sunday Night Football&#8221; game on NBC, so few within the industry will be looking at the performance as a negative.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:right;margin-left:5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/entertainment\/fuse-with-guests-mark\/image\/9672505?term=john+cena\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/view3.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/9672505\/fuse-with-guests-mark\/fuse-with-guests-mark.jpg?size=234&#038;imageId=9672505\" border=\"0\" width=\"234\" title=\"FUSE With Guests Mark Hoppus And Jon Cena\" height=\"352\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\" ondrag=\"return false;\" onmousedown=\"return false;\" alt=\"NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: Host Allison Hagendorf and professional wrestler and actor John Cena appear on Fuse TV's 'Top 20 Countdown' at the Fuse Studios on September 8, 2010 in New York City.
