Former WWE tag team champ Tyson Kidd was spotted backstage at SmackDown Live this week with his wife Natalya ... but he wasn't there visiting family and friends, he was working.

As we first reported, Tyson is transitioning into a backstage role in WWE -- more than likely as an agent/producer -- and we're told he's currently shadowing others in the same position.

The #1 contender to the SD Live Women's Championship posted a photo of their backstage embrace and wrote, "right before tj hip-tossed me.. Told you we'd make it through! #unbreakable"

Natalya's touching Instagram post can be found below. FACT!
