WWE Backstage was a professional wrestling studio show that was broadcast live every Tuesday night at 11:00 PM EST on FS1.[2][3] The show was hosted by Renee Young and Booker T.[4]

The show premiered on November 5, 2019 with special preview episodes airing on October 15, 2019 and October 25, 2019.[5] On March 13, 2020, filming of the show was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Because of that, the show still aired where Renee and Booker, along with the contributors and guests, discussed the entire issues of WWE from their own homes. The show also aired special episodes, where Renee, alongside the contributors and guests, re-watch their own favorite matches from the WWE Network archives called Watch With, which aired exclusively on YouTube. On June 22, 2020, FS1 announced that the show will not be a weekly show anymore and production of the show was suspended.[7] On January 21, 2021, WWE announced a special episode on January 30 about the upcoming Royal Rumble event.[8]
