OK, this one didn't take place backstage but it's still worthy because it involves someone shutting up the Ultimate Warrior.
Towards the end of Andre's career, he was doing a house show tour with the Ultimate Warrior and doing the job for him every night.
According to Bobby Heenan, Andre had a bit of a problem with the Warrior during this tour. There was a spot in the match where Warrior would clothesline Andre and send him into the ropes to be tied up.
Apparently, Warrior was stiffing Andre on the clothesline and the Giant told him to ease up. Warrior, being a known egomaniac and kind of a pain in the back, continued to stiff him a few more times.
One night, Andre had enough and waited for the clothesline spot. When Warrior came running at him like a maniac, Andre simply stuck up his massive fist and caught Warrior right in face, knocking him absolutely senseless.
In the matches after this incident, Warrior apparently barely touched Andre on the clothesline spot.

Ah, another story about someone putting Ultimate Warrior in his place.
During the Rude-Warrior angle in 1989, Rude came backstage after a match and asked Warrior to "lighten up" (stop working so stiffly)...are you sensing a pattern here?
Reportedly, Warrior replied with "I don't have to because I'm the Warrior."
Rude proceeded to knock Warrior on his ass with one punch.
