A lot of people were shipping Rey and Finn. And to be honest, while they're both outsiders, I never thought that they had enough in common. She was a determined, heroic person and a believer in ideals (and the return of her parents). Finn was a coward and too pathetic. It's way too imbalanced to work out.
Rey and Poe makes a little more sense, since they have many more personality traits in common. If Rey is in fact a Skywalker, it would fit with family tradition to marry the best fighter pilot in the galaxy. But that honestly doesn't have to happen onscreen, actually, since Daisy Ridley expressed that she didn't feel that this new generation needs a romance, and I'll admit that I agree with that. There's no space for it in Episode IX, which already has a lot of ground to cover.
If she isn't a Skywalker, then I suppose that you can still make this franchise fundamentally and pivotally about the Skywalkers if she ends up with Ben. Similar themes were tackled in the Book of Ruth. People call this one Reylo, but I personally like calling that possible romance Bey. It's hard to imagine how it would work out, but if they aren't related, Ben clearly was a little wobbly in the knees when he asked her to join him.
