What team would Ultimate Warrior be on if he wasn’t fire? Or may be he faced the undertaker in a single match

Interesting to think about, I think that he would have captained a team against Jake Roberts.

Probably would have been in the Sid/Savage spot against Jake's team

He would have been on the team with Bossman and the Legion of Doom vs. Jake, IRS, and the Natural Disasters. Warrior was supposed to start the feud with Jake after Summer Slam 1991. Since he got fired at that event, they put Sid in that spot, who started wrestling Jake at house shows in September of 1991. Before the Survivor Series, Sid tore his bicep, so they replaced him with Savage in the feud. I think the goal all along was to move Savage into the feud, mainly because the filmed the wedding stuff just after Summer Slam, but it probably happened earlier than it was supposed to because of Warrior getting fired and Sid getting injured.
EDIT: I also remember watching a shoot interview with Sid, he said that he wasn't supposed to be a full-time wrestler until 1992. He was just supposed to be an attraction and sometimes wrestle on TV to build him up during the fall. When Warrior got fired, they put Sid in Warrior's spot on the house show loop.

If Warrior was Sid’s replacement for Survivor Series opposite Jake’s team, at least then the match would be more justified to go on as the ‘main event’ last match, instead of the six man version we got!

I still say they should have gone with the full group and included Macho Man and Jake in the match at the Survivor Series. Have Jake do the usual cowardly heel move of tagging out anytime that Savage tagged in, basically toying with the crowd. Half-way through the match, Savage and Jake finally meet in the ring then brawl outside the ring to get disqualified. This could have forced Jack Tunney to set up the match between them at "Tuesday in Texas" by the end of the night. |

The way the line-ups ended up feels in hindsight like such a lame promotional hype for This Tuesday in Texas. You've spent months hyping your PPV and now you eventually get to the PPV you just use a good amount of airtime to hype up a match at your next PPV barely a few days later.
It always makes me laugh with the whole charade of "I understand that officials are working on putting together TV coverage of this Tuesday night......... an update on Tuesday, it's going to be available on a PPV basis for all you folks" etc.

The six man Survivor Series was sad and IMO started the downfall of the old school Survivor Series PPVs. The next year wasn't bad with the matches. They had to do it given how poor the roster was. But the next few years were lacking in really great matches and they added in people that really weren't regular roster members, since the roster was so think of top talent.
I know 1991 was done that way to get people to buy Tuesday in Texas. Luckily that didn't do well.

Warrior vs Taker or Jake sounds good.
