Transmission problems in Reverse

Im hoping someone may be able to give me some insight as to why when after ive been driving my truck which is an automatic after a while and the transmission is warm it almost stalls the engine when I put it in reverse. It runs fine through all the other gears and is only a warm transmission in reverse when it acts up.

It can lock when it shouldn't for several reasons.
Low trans fluid
Loose/missing internal filter
Leaking seals
Worn pump
TCC solenoid/wiring problem
Bad torque converter

I listed those from most likely to least likely.
