I would say it's an even match up, sion can easily take advantage of riven's main weakness (terrible health regen) using his E and his shield will be able to negate some of the damage. But in a straight up fight riven wins.

But even if riven can win in a fight she won't be able to stop a good sion farming nor will her shield be enough to block all of the poke. So he can wear her down and he out scales her hard... if both sides have no kills and similar farm then sion auto wins lane because late game riven falls off hard while sion becomes near unkillable.

So it's far from a free lane these days (it was before sion's E nerfs) but it should be one that both sides goes even on which translates to an advantage to sion.
